The problem I see here is that when a private company screws something up they go out of business. When the government screws something up they just raise our taxes to pay for it.
Of course you're right in that private companies do indeed cheat people all the time, and government is the only way to regulate that. I would rather have the Fed bring the bad ones to justice that try to run it themselves. When the government cheats people it's a lot harder to do anything about it.
