Uhm, the free-market would have prevented it. The government distorted the market so that the banks were able to do what they did. You do understand that, right?
The government is the enabler, not the preventer.

It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
