Lax regulation is being generous. Purposeful manipulation of the market would be more accurate. Then, here comes the arrogant know-nothing part: assuming that you can direct a mortgage industry to suspend logic when underwriting mortgages - potentially assuming that tax payers would foot the bill if something went wrong - while forgetting that real estate is an investment that can rise and fall just like any other investment.

...but their intentions were good, so we'll forgive them...
