The conventional narrative – comforting to the big banks and their friends in the Obama administration – is that the Treasury has done everything within its power to reform the system. In this account, anyone now complaining about, for example, the lack of legal charges against the banks is some form of dangerous demagogue.
令大银行和它们在奥巴马政府中的朋友感到舒服的套话是财政部已在其权力范围内竭尽全力改革金融系统。按照这套说辞，只要你有所抱怨，比如没人对银行提起法律诉讼，那你就是危险的煽动者。
