Financial Crisis!

In class we discussed the issues of Lehman & Merrill Lynch & the Stock Market. We seperated into groups and found possible solutions the government could do. Some groups thought the government should stand by and let the issue resolve on its own. I dont agree with that because there would be repercussions. Others said the government should completely help out and loan out money to bankrupt companies and continue to print out money. In my opinion the government should deny loans to more companies, have more rules to follow while running their company and print less money.
