On the floor of the House today, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said that health care reform had left Democrats with a “credibility gap,” and criticized his opponents for “rushing a job-killing regulatory bill with promises that it will end Wall St. bailouts.”

Boehner added:

The bill doesn’t end Wall St. bailouts, it makes them permanent, and institutionalizes ‘too big to fail.’ This bill doesn’t get the government out of the private sector, it creates a ‘politburo-style’ council of regulators who can seize any business and do almost anything they want to do with it.
