1. the free market worked in the suv case
The car companies, especially Ford bet heavily on the large, gas guzzling vehicles to continue to carry them even in the face of a lagging economy and soaring gas prices and the consumers didn't go for it. That move has practically crippled Ford and hurt the other automakers too.

I agree tht for many consrvatives think free market = less oversight and that's nt always a good thing but sometimes it works out
