With respect to the government's treatment of the home construction and home financing industries, yes. I think the past couple of years have conclusively demonstrated that with respect to home construction and financing, the large banks were ultimately mere instrumentalities of the state implementing state policy. The fact that the state chose to privatize the gains and socialize the losses was a policy choice of the state and doesn't change the conclusion.
