No, the government shouldn't meddle in the affairs of lending institutes as much as they have. It's caused most of this mess in the first place - artificially inflating home ownership rates, only for us to crash back down when people couldn't finance what they couldn't eventually afford.
The $3.6t budget is very irresponsible. You can't leverage THAT much of the country's GDP to the government. It seems that the irresponsibility with Bush (leveraging wars during recessions) is only being multiplied by Obama (spending even more that we don't have). Very fusterating.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
