Bring it, all you Keynesian 'free-marketeers'!

"There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved."

~~Ludwig von Mises

The use of private money would nullify the negative effects of a government-sponsored boom-bust cycle, as insiders could no longer use the method of "socialized financing."

This is the other thing that folks don't understand about the perniciousness of Bernankspan's methods. Commercial and invevestment banks don't rely only on depositors money, but borrow from the money markets whose funds come from credit inflated by the Federal reserve. In other words, they don't use your deposits or my deposits, but rather use money created out of thin air to finance their antics.

While the mechanisms are complicated, in effect, the federal reserve create it, the banks borrow it a low interest rates, and lend it at high interest rates.

In sum, capital is created not through savings with clear individual owners, but through inflation. We all pay in through higher costs of items in the market, but none of us own it. There is no one individual who can call another individual to account when the investment goes south.
