At that point, Washington had little choice but to intervene still further, using hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to save the banks and other financial institutions. The alternative was a replay of the 1930s, when a failing banking system sent the nation, and much of the world, into a decade-long depression.
The government’s longer-term response, though, should have been to restore clear rules to the financial system, preventing such a crisis from ever happening again by consistently limiting borrowing within the financial industry and among financial instruments.»
