I love how the government loosened up a little bit on the banking industry, and because the banks fucked up, all the sudden that was a "free market" that should be considered a complete failure. Like it was only the banks' fault, too.
Nevermind the rest of the stifling regluations that were still in place everywhere else though.
Like the government hasn't been in bed with the banks since the friggin beginning of the practice of lending.
We're all just idiots that could never possibly figure out what's best for ourselves, right?
Not to mention the banking industry itself is a complete fraud propped up by the federal government. Fractional reserve banking couldn't exist on a truly free market for very long.
