This Roger Cohen piece is an interesting template (especially if matched with Nick Kristofs biting satire on executive pay) for a progressive response to the current financial crisis. Bash the culture of Wall Street, tie it back to the lessons society is teaching our kids, throw in a dash of Obama civic language, sprinkle some FDR and greatest generation praise (for the nostalgic), garnish with some China scare, and BAM you have a national infrastructure bank.
