If you don't trust that the free market can fix itself, you are necessarily for government intervention. That's not being a "free market guy," that's advocating a planned economy. There is government regulation and intervention at every step of the economy. It isn't and in modern times has never been a free market. Otherwise you would get snake oil from the pharmaceutical companies and putrid beef from the meat companies and unsafe autos from the car companies, among 1000's of other things. Thank God we don't have a 'free market'.
