Will someone please explain how this justifies the need for bigger government when the government muffed the case time after time?

In the subprime scandals it was clear that the government failed in its duty to vet these mortgages. In fact government was the prime mover in creating the poisonous subprime mortgages. Government installed incentives which led to the plague of subprime mortgages. Government set up the quasi-government agencies which enabled Democrat apparatchiks to grift tens of millions of dollars off subprime mortgages. They cooked the books.

Yet the lessons we are supposed to take from all of these government misdeeds is that we need more government.

The lesson for me is that the liars, thieves, and sociopaths on Capitol Hill - and that includes both Democrats AND Republicans - are scoundrels who should be ejected from office post haste, and prosecuted.

They are completely over the top and out of control.
