Sorry, but another person that is not aware of the facts... most of the loans were made by companies that are NOT regulated (except for fair lending and such)... they are not 'banks' that get told who they can lend to and how much capital they need... they are not getting 'deposits', but buying their funds from others. They then sale the mortgages to investors, again not regulated as much as you think as they are not sold to the general public...

All the cry about regulation is from the people who could have passed laws but did not...
