I think that bipartisan repeal of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act in 1980 and 1999 allowed banks, investment firms, insurance companies and mortgage brokers to combine forces and become "too big to fail."

Probably not so much what could have been done but what shouldn't have been done like you cited, killing deregulation, loosening the qualifying standards to buy a home, etc. So much blame to go around just like there will be so much blame to go around when the health care system collapses.
