Talk about loosing control, not much of a professional...

Here's the problem, it's easy to make a common sense argument that nearly everybody will agree with like "why should I have to help pay for my neighbor's mortgage".

But the flip side, is that a lot of the rules that may have contributed to this mess have also grown our economy and increased our standard of living.

So unless you're willing to give away a lot that you have gained, you don't really have a solid leg to stand on.

The question now really is about maintaining that standard of living. I'm not sure a fast change to a laissez fair system wouldn't lead to a worse situation than we're in now.

The government, and the government alone has the resources to rapidly apply treatment to the problem. The free markets have already demonstrated their weakness, and it's called greed.
