Elected Democrats haven&#8217;t been shy about slamming BP for the horrific oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Last month, Senate majority leader Harry Reid emotionally declared on the Senate floor that the oil company&#8217;s &#8220;greed led to 11 horrific and unnecessary deaths. It has harmed an enormous tourism industry, threatened business [...]]]></description>

Every great American boom and bust makes and breaks its share of crooks. The past decade—call it the Ponzi Era—has been no different, except for the gargantuan scale of white-collar crime. A vast wave of financial fraud swelled in the first years of the new century. Then, in [...]]]></description>

In just six months, Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), the stately front man of the Senate&#8217;s campaign to crack down on Wall Street, has transformed from financial-reform avenger, scourge of the Federal Reserve, and ally of the average consumer to a GOP pushover. Last fall, the veteran Senator and chairman of the banking [...]]]></description>
