Right out of the gate you're wrong!
Yeah, you and JakeStarkey - a couple of Republican heroes..
More failure. You did not mention it combines and eliminates agencies as well. But that wouldn't fit into your confirmation bias, now would it?
Are you (or rather, Think Progress) claiming a net DECREASE in federal agencies?
Title I creates the Financial Stability Oversight Council and the Office of Financial Research.
Two added, zero reduced.
Title II creates Federal Insurance Office.
One added, zero reduced.
Title III abolishes the Office of Thrift Supervision.
One reduced, finally.
Title IX adds 6 new departments to the SEC.
One agency doubled in size, zero reduced.
Title X - the coup de grace, establishes the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. Don't expect vaseline on this one, they're doing you dry.
Please provide evidence I have a "government everywhere" philosophy. You couldn't be more wrong and I can direct you to topics which demonstrate that if you are too stupid to find them.
ROFL
Seriously - the post I'm responding to is sufficient.
This is just a repeat of the failure above which neglects the reality that some agencies are removed and some are combined.
ONE, sparky - one. You Think Progress Republicans are kind of loose with the facts...
But if you can give us specific examples of these "hundreds of layers" that have been added, that would be great. Just so we know you aren't blowing rhetorical projectile diarrhea out of your ass.
Come on little Obamabot, the CFP starts with;
Supervision, Enforcement, and Fair Lending
Research, Markets, and Regulations
Office of the Chief Operating Officer
General Counsel
Consumer Education and Engagement
External Affairs .[168]
This is the most intrusive and bureaucratic mess since SOX.
Please point us to the provisions in the bill which do this. And quote the relevant parts that prove your point.
The proper response to your petulant demand would be "blow me."
But for the lurkers..

I am guessing you have not actually read the legislation and therefore don't know it only has reporting requirements for financial institutions that have more than $50 billion in assets. Which means only "behemoths" fall under those requirements.
I'm guessing that you are reciting directly from Democratic Underground.
Careful. If you keep repeating an untruth, you will begin to believe it. That's how you have acquired so many self-delusions.
Yep, you're the epitome of conservatism - you and George Soros...
