Umm, regulatory capture applies to legislatures as well, not just regulatory agencies.

Pick one and see what can be done.

Pick both - we already know what can be done.

If you're going to argue that this time will be different, you need to explain why. Heck, it would be nice if you understand, deeply, how things work now, what's been tried, and so on.

None of the existing problems are easy to solve.
