Is the economy about to correct itself despite whatever we may do to stop it?

Question

Propping banks and businesses up with printed currency will lead to inflation. Also, peoples faith in our country will erode, causing us to have to raise interest rates on all the bonds our govt issues, increasing the nat'l debt. So in the end will any pain be averted by bailing out businesses and banks or are we just spreading it around so we all feel the pain, and not the people who made bad decisions? I say if the market is going to adjust trying to stop it is just pushing the problem back a few years and then it comes back even worse. That is what we are seeing. Alan Greenspan tried to bail out the stock market by lowering interest rates to ridiculous levels and holding them there. That caused the housing market to overheat and now the house of cards is beginning to fall. Why couldnt we just be responsible initially, let the investors take their pill and we could have averted this mess?
