What does banking regulation and dietary supplement regulation have in common?

Henry Waxman. That is what. Seems he has a bur under his saddle about dietary supplements so he has inserted language into the banking bill that requires the FTC to order conventional human drug trials for every dietary supplement on the market.

What does that have to do with banking?

Not a damned thing!

Oh, and guess what other little "easter eggs" have been inserted! Internet sales regulation as well, because apparently buying books from Amazon is a threat to the economy of the nation too...

Oh yeah, this is definitely the most open and transparent administration ever....NOT!
