Few people express concern over the future during the boom. Jobs are plentiful, markets are on an extended upwards trend, credit is cheap, product roles off the assembly line, and everybody feels richer.
When all this goes to crap, they start to panic, and understandably not knowing the cause of being dropped into sudden peril, look to the government to save them. Most do not understand how the government will accomplish that, they simply want it accomplished. They believe that by demanding action on the part of government, whatever that may be, things will turn around and in the end, hopefully, they along with everything else will be OK. What they ask for is impossible. Government is incapable of action. Action is purposeful, and as such is only possible within the parameters of the individual. The government, like any other social phenomenon, is not an entity in and of itself, with a desire, a need, a means, and an end to a purpose. Only the individual is capable of needs and purposely acting with an aim of fulfilling those needs. Anything resembling action on the part of the government is not action on the part of the government, but an action on the part of whichever individual participants succeed in using the government function as a means to their own ends. Ultimately, when the individual asks for government action to save them, they are asking for inaction.
Superior as force or the threat of force may be as a means to engage in a means to attain an end when it is backed by government, the probability of your ends being the same as those few individuals who were given the means of government to attain those ends are very low, and despite how good the spin is put on any government policy, I would venture to say that the President, the Treasury Secretary, and Federal Reserve Chief, and every legislator have very different ends in mind than you.
