> But why do we blame the government? It's completely a problem we create.
Yes but if the government is ineffective at solving the issue with the vast amounts of money we give them, we now have two problems.
Your point basically boils down to "regulators are ineffective, but that's okay because the original problem isn't their fault". Sorry, but I actually care about throwing my hard earned money into the void because it's "ok" that the regulators suck.
It has ZERO to do with the amount of money given.
Look up Republicans policy to 'starve the beast'. Republican's policy is to run up the government debt so high it can't function. They don't care about money/costs, they just do not want ANY government oversight. They EXPLICITLY demonstrate this with their 'starve the beast' policy. It's not about money/cost, it's about undercutting oversite.
Regulators are ineffective because half of the political environment, Republicans, do everything they can do to make them ineffective.
