The reality is the government had a hand in it by requiring lenders to make mortgages available to high-risk applicants. There were many contributors to the crisis, and the degree to which each party contributed cannot be known. I just wanted to point out that Government isn't infallible and that statutory and regulatory requirements can have unintended consequences. Surely you agree with that. Even the notoriously liberal Heritage Foundation might admit that!

Man, road bikes sure are expensive!
