Futures Brokers New Cap Req

The government is doing the right thing, you need to act before a crisis. High cap requirements are simply a form of insurance, if you are against it you are essentially saying higher leverage is a good thing, then why stop at the current levels why not more leverage, at what point would be enough. Arguments like 'they havent been hit, its working' are the same that were used for not having capital standards in investment banks
 
Does anyone know if these new requirements would petain to firms that just trade equities? Maybe those firms already meet tougher guidelines than futures firms?

Anyone got the scoop?
