Maybe because government has their fingerprints all over this mess.
Creation of poorly regulated government sponsored entities that were allowed to be run by party hacks that took on enough bad debt to sink the whole financial system.
Creation of a centralized bank that has absolute control over the money supply and de facto control over interest rates and that used its authority to promote a global pyramid scheme in risky securitized debt and house-of-cards derivative schemes.
Is that enough government intervention for you or do you want more? Because there is plenty more where that came from. In fact, they might just ‘intervene’ us into a collapse of the dollar and the downgrading of the credit rating of U.S. debt.
