对对眼同学说:克林顿的“affordable housing prgram, 让穷人打土豪分田地和农一样住大耗死,伙同国会给哥哥篱笆汝议员Barney Frank 之流以政府意志施压银行,逼银行降低审核标准(尤其不准歧视某些族群)大量发放房贷。商业银行发放的大量放贷又由政府用纳税钱支撑的两房来买进。从此次贷失控,愈演愈烈,一发不可收拾。终酿成2008年的次贷危机。殷鉴不远,也就20来年前开始。有空自己翻翻历史,看看所谓的克林顿主政下的affordable housing 是咋肥四。还别说,这个例子恰恰印证了冬冬对凯恩斯主义的批判。即以政府意志干涉市场往往扰乱市规律,危害极大(虽然造成短期房事繁荣)。”把次贷危机的责任一股脑推给克林顿政府,是不符合事实的,错误的。
联邦对该次危机成立的专门调查委员会的调查报告指出,这次危机可以避免。它是华尔街和私人银行无视政府规则,管理人员道德败坏,以及政府对私人银行房贷缺乏控制引起的。正好说明市场经济自由度太大不行。政府必须加大控制力度。资本主义自由经济的致命伤,就是社会生产的盲目性造成生产过剩,引起经济定期衰退。这在美国目前的制度下,是无法避免的。鸟笼经济为什么可以避免衰退?就是因为它的金融由政府拥有,可以引入足够的政府干涉,大大减少了危机的风险。中国已经三十多年没有经济衰退。从目前实践的结果看,这是最好的经济制度。
下面是美国次贷危机调查委员会的正式结论。
The U.S. Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission reported its findings in January 2011. It concluded that "the crisis was avoidable and was caused by: Widespread failures in financial regulation, including the Federal Reserve’s failure to stem the tide of toxic mortgages; Dramatic breakdowns in corporate governance including too many financial firms acting recklessly and taking on too much risk; An explosive mix of excessive borrowing and risk by households and Wall Street that put the financial system on a collision course with crisis; Key policy makers ill prepared for the crisis, lacking a full understanding of the financial system they oversaw; and systemic breaches in accountability and ethics at all levels."[
