New York's AG Takes on the Banks - thenation.com
Beginning Paragraph:
The most powerful Wall Street banks are used to getting their own way, especially with politicians, but New York’s attorney general is trying to turn the tables on them. Eric Schneiderman is digging into the accumulating evidence of massive fraud and false documentation revealed by the foreclosure mess and asks a potentially explosive question: How bad is it?
the final paragraph:
If government fails to moderate the suffering and steer the economy toward a gentler recovery, sooner or later the markets will solve things for us, perhaps violently and irrationally. If that happens, the next crisis will not be about debt and deficits but about the gradual unraveling of the entire financial system.
