The Fed gets a little more power overall, but through a combination of expansion in some areas and contraction in others. I concur with the implicit notion that the federal consumer agency will not likely be very effective.

If, for instance, I bought a bond with the assurance that I had secured rights within but then some better connected group was put ahead of me when I tried to collect on that assurance - can I count on this administration to look out for my interest...even if it's not in their political best interest? I do so want to believe in this man. Do you really think all this additional power conglomerated at the federal level is going to help the small-time investor and everyday consumer?
