Regulators, it is generally agreed, were asleep at the wheel in 2005-06, when the subprime-mortgage bubble was about to pop.  Lawmakers certainly wondered if officials should, perhaps, have been doing more than just watching as subprime grew into a financial crisis.  I’ll say.  The regulatory system neglected  to spot an approaching financial hurricane.

The dome-shaped ceiling is covered with paintings of fearsome creatu...
