host: the huffington post has this. guest: i think that mr. frank is right that it's taking a little longer for the agencies. but they're doing and thorough and thoughtful job and they're doing it with less money than they thought they would have. other agencies that are under the congressional appropriations process haven't gotten enough money. the securities and exchange commission, the new derivatives rules will be under an agency called the commodities futures trading commission, and they've had their budgets weakened not as much as we would like but they're working hard and that's really the step. in terms of the consumer bureau, i have to tell you i'm over there visiting and making suggestions to them as are other consumer advocates from americans for financial reform which is our coalition, on a regular basis. i look at them like a new peace corps, or something like that. the division or the work that they're doing, the ideas that they have over there, it's just tremendous how hard the agencies are working to combhplement these laws. >>
