And how much I hate to say it, half of all painters, roofers and carpenters I know have served time of over a few weeks in their life. And most do it cause they either can't pass a drug test or because they want to be able to drink while they work.

How would more government regulation help? That would just decrease the number of qualified contractors while increasing the cost of the work they do.
The problem isn't that the government hasn't stuck their nose far enough into it. The problem is that we live in a Walmart society where everyone wants it for the best price, without considering that they sacrifice quality. Then they wonder why the product or service lets them down.
