In my honest opinion, the federal is responsible for financial crisis of 2007-2008 due to
reason that financial crisis is avoidable as financial crisis was primarily caused by
deregulation in the financial industry. That permitted banks to engage in hedge fund trading with derivatives. Banks then demanded more mortgages to support the profitable sale of these derivatives that permitted banks to engage in hedge fund trading with derivatives, and resulted in the financial crisis that led to the Great Recession. The government is responsible for the making the polices to protect the interest of both society and regulated institution. In absence of a suitable monitory policy the stock market crashed in 2008 because too many had people had taken on loans they couldn't afford where lenders relaxed their strict lending standards to extend credit to people who were less than qualified, and it resulted in drove up housing prices to levels that many could not otherwise afford. Moreover, increasing home ownership has been the goal of several presidents, including Roosevelt, Reagan, Clinton, and George W. Bush. Some experts say the events were driven by the private sector, with the major investment banks at the core of the crisis not subject to depository banking regulations such as the CRA. Finally, due to weak Federal control policy, millions of families lost their savings as numerous banks collapsed, unable to make mortgage or rent payments, many were deprived of their homes or were evicted from their apartments. Both working-class and middle- class families were drastically affected by the Depression.
