Problem is that it takes effort and a problem. This is why we had the bailouts. Because people didn't want to have the problems or put forth the effort. Without the problem, nothing will be prompted to move. I believe it is all about inertia. Every body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion (constant velocity) unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force. This means that in the absence of a non-zero net force the center of mass of a body either remains at rest, or moves at a constant speed in a straight line.
Had the banks and the auto companies closed, there would be problems. When the dust settled, we would either emerge stronger or die out. Nobody wanted to risk that so they wanted to continue as they were, hoping the rest of the would would be placed in stasis.
