Right, but many would argue we wouldn't even have the massive issues we have now if the FED and the government weren't intervening in the first place.
I'm not saying that some level of government intervention isn't occasionally needed, but most examples of government intervention "helping" these days tends to be the government just further worsening a problem they caused in the first place.
