The government didn't directly cause the financial crises. Well, they did my not regulating the financial industry, but it wasn't because they pushed for home ownership. They government didn't force banks to make bad loans -- this is one of the lies from free marketeers.

The banks actually practiced to deceive loan applicants. They were covered by AIG with nothing to lose. Same thing with TARP the banks only benefited off of the taxpayers. It still is pure greed beyond belief.
