But obviously sitting back and letting the market that caused this problem in the first place fix the problem is the wisest choice.

And I hate to break it to people, but governments that do nothing during a recession STILL run huge deficits because their tax base shrinks so much. If you want to complain about deficits, you should be complaining about them during good economic years, not the bad ones. But the average person thinks the economy is just on autopilot during the good years and questions nothing the government does as long as GDP is growing.

They did do stuff though.  A country like france.  Now they've done nothing.
