    This bill seeks to reduce the oversight our government agencies have to ensure companies are acting responsibly in the way they handle financial products. The most recent market meltdown due to overly creative exploitation of weird financial securities transactions shows that we need all the oversight we can get in financial markets.

    "Increase the threshold amount" means exempting more securities from disclosure. That reduces transparency. That is a bad thing in this country right now.
