The National Government's Continuous Over-reach

In FOX New's story: "As Finance Bill Passes, GOP Calls for Repeal" on July 16th, the GOP had already begun to see the repeal of the bill even before the voting had concluded. The 60-39 vote broke the filibuster allowing the passage of the new Bank Bill to crack down on the industries rather than ease regulations. The Democrats and President Obama most certainly will call this a victory but one can't help but worry that the government is really overstepping their bounds. Republican senators have referred to the bill as a "legislative monster" and many refer to it's impact as massive... most certainly not in a good way. The problem reaches far beyond just the liberal vs. conservative differences. The government in general has overstepped what it was originally designed to do, and now that it has created more problems it's been forced to draft more legislation to try and fix the mess that keeps getting worse.
