You might think a near financial melt-down would have at least one benefit: a chance to re-boot the regulatory process and start anew. While almost everyone agrees that we need to create a more streamlined and nimble regulatory process, there's little consensus on how to get there. It's kind of like heaven...everyone thinks it's a great place, but no one wants to be the first to go.
