He also failed to include government intervention (CRA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.) as a cause for banks to lend money to unqualified borrowers. The banks were forced to make sub-prime loans by government mandate, as well as to compete with the likes of Fannie Mae. His piece lays all the responsibility on large financial institutions, which is not exactly fair.

I commend his ability to make a truly complex situation easier to understand, but I think there was room to include Uncle Sam in the mix.
