Regulation is just a furthering of the cultural decay that is the root cause of these issues in the first place. Be careful suggesting violence as an answer to society becoming crummy as it always leads to worse crumminess.

Adding liquidity (aka printing money) just kicks the can down the road. Supposedly the US GDP last year was up close to 4%, but they failed to account for the 6% increase in the money supply, which means an actual 2% contraction instead
