Wall Street money and influence suffuses both our politics and our media, so the answer to that question remains to be seen. But the ideas presented by Fisher and Rosenblum should reshape our national conversation over the financial and moral failure of our current banking system.

Politicians and regulators serve criminal banks for the very same reason that Willie Sutton robbed them: That's where the money is.  If these senators don't figure that out pretty soon, they're going to have to go to the people to raise money.

Think of it as the story of two antagonists. One of them was an honest senator who came to Washington to fight corruption. The other is an arrogant banker who's so sure of his untouchability that he wore "FBI" cufflinks when he made a public appearance last month.
