More transparency will be called for. That's probably a good thing. A VERY good thing. It would seem that a rallying cry of many republicans is a fervent belief in promoting less government regulation in the lives of their constituents, especially in regards to how they would like to conduct business. I suspect a lot of republicans are likely to resist a slew of regulatory changes soon be proposed, vilifying them as being anti-freedom, or un-American. I suspect the majority of the peasants will be unsympathetic. I sense they are already gathering an impressive load of tinder at the base of many stakes.
