Allowing failure is a keystone of a free market. The worst message to send a business is that they'll be bailed out if they fail. It encourages increased risk-taking. The price of a soft landing is a soft recovery. We've had out-and-out depressions where we were back on track quicker.
We didn't get much for our bail out, but at least it cost alot.
