"A person familiar with the operations of one big wall street bank, said it expects that new regulation will affect less than 1% of its overall business"

Seems like, more and more, and kind of effectual legislation can only get in front of a problem for a few months at best, until a way is found to sidestep, gut, or push through the regulations. McCain Feingold was a good example, thousands of hours of research and work, nullified within a few months. To me, of limited faith, this legislation is meant as window dressing, and/or an appeasement to the masses. After having read, "Pigs at the Trough" by Arianna Huffington, my faith in governments ability to stand up to the fat cats in the name of individual protection, has faltered substantially. As always, anybody is welcome to "talk me down" as Maddow likes to say, and per the status quo, sarcasm and attacks on my logic/intelligence, or lack thereof are always welcome!
