Those blindsided by the recent financial meltdown are now loudly blaming the free market for its failure to police its own excesses, and are calling for greater regulation to prevent future disasters. But for those who clearly observed the problems developing (in high definition slow motion) the blame can be directed squarely at the policies of the Greenspan/Bernanke Federal Reserve. As has been the case countless times in history, the free market will now pay the price for government incompetence.

There is not much difference in that statement and a bank robber telling the cop it was his fault because he didn't stop him from stealing.

So who’s the cop? The government, or the consequences of the market itself?
