Ironically, the housing market collapse was because there wasn't enough government regulation. Many of the lending practices in the last few years were questionable at best. A ton of people were approved who could not afford a house.

The free market spun out of control on its own enthusiasm until it all came crashing down, kind of like the DotCom bubble.

That's what I meant in one of my later posts... This shows how incredibly short-sighted the free market can be.

The "100% free market" crowd are just a bunch of idealistic wishful thinkers.

 

That, or they are at the top of the pile, so to speak.
