Really, a government whose answer to every problem is "throw money at it maybe it will go away" is more capable of regulating business than the owners.

Again it comes back to personal responsibility. It should not be the governments problem if AIG folds, if banks made bad loans (forced or not,) stock market crumbles, there are corrupt CEO's. If your business crumbles ahh well better luck next time the government shouldn't be running in trying to fix this mess. There is a store that sells maps in the town I live in. Yup its called the map store. Business went under after only six months even the dumbest person in the world could see that it wasn't going to be a successful business. Do you think the government should have stepped in and lent them a million or so? Not to over simplify but it is really the same thing. You make bad decisions or business moves and then there are consequences.

Our government cant regulate health care, disasters, this unending war or even a budget but it is perceived that we should throw something else on their plates?

I don't believe that a majority of people agree with more regulation. I think the majority of people want a resolution and are willing to say YES to just about anything to get it.
