It all comes down to the government intervention paradox: whenever something bad happens, people ask for intervention, which implies the only entity willing to do such things, the government. The sad part is, to my knowledge, this intervention never works out for the best. When is the last time you heard the phrase, "thank goodness the government intervened! It did such a good job, and now everyone's happy!" with regard to the economy?
