Only in the warped, distorted, Alice-in-Wonderland world of Wall Street would one think “Washington went to war against big Wall Street banks” or that “Washington won [the war] in a blowout,” as said today in a Politico article entitled “How Washington beat big Wall Street banks.” The author, Ben White, is a terrific reporter and there’s a lot interesting in and right about the article, but I disagree with the premise of it.
