This categorical refusal to consider a proximate cause and only deal with the after effects is disingenuous at best.
You categorically refuse to consider the fact that the institutions that failed were trying to make more of these high risk lousy loans to the point where they were lobbying to have lending limits repealed.

You blame government for businesses making bad loans when the entirety of the evidence on record says those businesses wanted to make those loans, to the point of spending $300 million on lobbying to repeal regulations preventing them from making risky loans.

I've also addressed the evidence you and others have presented on this point repeatedly. The only categorical denial occurring here is the one you are making.
