2. Fed was retroactive it did too little too late, was behind the curve most of the time in the crisis times.
3. Fed view on inflation is flawed, history shows that printing too much money will lead to highly inflationary scenarios. With the amount of money being printed this time it could only lead to Hyper Inflation.
4. Fed kept Interest rates too low for too long time, this created unhealthy lending procedures.

6. Fed had too much faith on big banks believing they will be self regulate themselves.
