Its in the nature of politicians to solve problems to enhance their own electability. They look at every problem as a nail requiring a hammer. The intervention of government, though well intentioned, usually makes problems worse and keeps them from being resolved quickly. Global warming is mainly a political preoccupation these days rather an issue for individuals and the free market to address by themselves.

The sub prime mortgage was a government created problem.

Congress critters insisting that there was discrimination on the part of banks against lending money for housing to sub-prime buyers. With big government breathing down their necks, the banks found ways to lend money to them.

We’re paying the price now.
