The problem is all of the people making money on the stock market. The (somewhat shaky) justification for them making that money is that they are taking on risk. If they are not in fact taking risk, because their short-sighted investments are going to be bailed out by government, then we really need to start questioning why the private investors are the ones making the money in the good times, and not the government who is actually taking on the risk.
