This is the result of government intervention in the free market, specifically with Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (requiring high percentages of loans to be made to lower-income buyers), as well as each of the large banks currently in trouble, plus two more. The free market may sometimes develop problem on its own, and yes, then we should let companies fail, but in this case this is so far from a free market, it's tough to determine what's best to do. Giving $700B to one man with no oversight sure as heck ain't it, though! This isn’t a failure of free markets.
