I agree to an extent, but I'd focus more on considering no firm "too big to fail" and less on pushing the size of firms down or imposing a lot of new regulation on them. As for moving regulation of systematic risk in to one agency, that might make sense, or it might be fairly useless, but I'm not really against the idea. It might seem to have a surface similarity to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, which I was at least slightly against, but this move is a bit different and might make a bit more sense. Its not just throwing organizations under a new umbrella, it reorganizing the job that different agencies do to try and rationalize the borders between them. I think people make too much over such organizational changes, but it might help.
