Talk:Obama financial regulatory reform plan of 2009

redundant article?
Came to this article after reading Richard W. Rahn: RAHN: Financial fascism where he claims: "The "Dodd financial reform" bill...will make it illegal to invest in a new venture or start-up company for anyone who does not have a liquid net worth of $2.2 million or an annual income of roughly $450,000 if single or $675,000 if married - which rules out all but fewer than 1 percent of the population." So Dodd bill obviously relevant, whether or not this is true. However, is this article redundant to Wall Street reform? Obviously the final bill will have a name and that article would replace one or both of these. CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:31, 2 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Wall Street Reform covers historical events as well. This is one chapter in Wall Street Reform. Obama's regulatory reform may include other bills as well, and to the extent that it does this article should not be titled as a particular bill.... II  | (t - c) 05:37, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * There are at least two other WP articles in addition to this one focusing on US financial regulatory reform legislation: Wall Street reform and Obama financial regulatory reform plan of 2009. With the process winding down, I think it makes sense to combine these three articles into one and significantly expand the article to describe and analyze in some detail the development and effects of the bill.
