Humans and their systems are very resilient. Personally I would have let a lot of the weaker US financial institutions fail after Lehman. It would have been much more painful in the short term, but I bet we'd be in a healthier recovery period now. Granted I understand why the Fed did what they did. The European equivalent is letting Portugal, Greece, Italy, and Spain go bankrupt, which could cause serious, irreversible structural problems...on that one, I'm not sure what I would have done.
