The first view is that governments simply lost control of the situation, either through incompetence or because politicians were pursuing their own agendas. This is the view heard most frequently from the political right – for example, from people who think that the main problem in the run-up to the financial meltdown of 2008 was government housing policies.
第一种观点是，政府完全失去了对事态的控制，政府没能胜任，政客则在追求自身利益。持这一观点的大多是政治右派——比如那些认为2008年金融大崩坏的主要问题出在政府住房政策的人。
