That may be the best summation of the financial regulatory reform bill. The legislation weighs in at 848 pages (at least the electronic version does). Compare that with, say, the Constitution of the United States, which founded the legal principles of our nation nearly 223 years ago. That original document (handwritten, naturally) clocked in at just four pages. Granted, the Founding Fathers wrote in small print. But come on. Four pages to run a country, vs. 848 pages to run a bank? Really?

It was bound to happen eventually, but here we are, less than two years after the U.S. faced its worst financial crisis in decades, and a steady stream of politicians routinely take to the airwaves to declare that the government overreacted with the $700 billion TARP plan and ripped off the taxpayer. That the incredible interventions by the Federal Reserve and the Treasury weren't necessary. That we should have taken our lumps and let the chips fall where they may.

It destroyed iconic American companies like AIG, Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and nearly broke GM, costing tens of thousands of workers their jobs. It pushed millions out of their homes. And that's just in the U.S. -- forget the fallout still raining down on Europe and the rest of the globe. So where are the jail terms, or at least the perp walks, for those who oversaw it all? Cue the crickets.

They have, for the most part, paid back the money they borrowed from taxpayers, with a big load of interest to boot. They've cut executive pay. And they're making strides in helping tens of thousands of homeowners stay in their houses rather than foreclosing.

But none of these endeavors will have as much impact on our nation's future as his decisions on whom to appoint to the three open positions on the Federal Reserve's board of governors. Really.
