By last summer, most of the criticisms that are now being thrown at the SEC were already out on the table…. Twelve months later, none of this has changed. We still know pretty much what we knew last summer. But are we actually appropriating the doubled SEC budget – paid with Wall Street user fees – that Congress saw as necessary and promised just last summer?
