Ban Total Return Swaps

Isn't there a WallStreeteasy web site?

Boy, you are ill-informed. Dodd Frank, Basel 3 and MiFD 2 etc will require such to post margin going forward. So no need to "ban" them. 35-1 leverage will not be permitted, at least not if funds want to make a profit. Pay attention.

What's a regulator?

Someone too stupid to get a job in what he supposedly "regulates."

As long as DC/SEC propose ordinances in a a theoretical vacuum, void of practical loopholes, they will remain secondary to West St.

In fact, OTC swaps that are not centrally cleared will have to post even HIGHER margin and will count LESS a bank capital going forward.

that's call capital requirement, not MARGIN, pay attention

It's both dummy. Dodd Frank covers margin, Basel 3 capital. Read a little.
