Didn't say we should privatize the gains. I just don't think that it's useful to tear down a bunch of infrastructure on principle. I would not have minded just nationalizing as much as would have been needed either. And of course bailing out a bunch of homeowners would be extremely ideal.

Gov't intervention when systems are falling apart are not a bad thing (well, at least when they actually do helpful things).
