Lets start with the printing press. Lets start with the subprime mortgage failure. I agree the private sector didn't help it at all, but it was the government that unleashed hell. Personally, as someone who follows the Austrian School of Economics, I would rather have Wall Street and everyone who should have failed, fail. The bailouts only increased the destruction of the imminent collapse.
