I read the purpose of the bill, which is:

To ensure the continued free flow of commerce within the United States
and with its global trading partners through secure cyber communications,
to provide for the continued development and exploitation of the
Internet and intranet communications for such purposes, to provide for
the development of a cadre of information technology specialists to improve
and maintain effective cyber security defenses against disruption,
and for other purposes.

I did see Denniger has some real person interests he feels threatened here, however, I don't read any of his fears outlined in the link you provide from the actual "working draft" pdf [careful opening a PDF is a serious security risk].

I have worked my whole life in this security systems economy of profit, and much as I hate loss of what we once fancied as "freedoms", we all saw the writing on the wall with any "information technology", so I have to agree wholeheartedly (after working contract for the Department of the Army) that these measures are certainly overdue and the budget set forth too little too late.
