Getting back to OP's question, should we just let everything fall into depression or try to help the current situation from going down the tube, even if it means possibly helping industries that would die anyway? I favor doing what you can rather than a depression, let the markets down slowly, and the bad businesses will not survive anyway. In the meantime though, the dying companies will put food on people's table until the system adjusts.

From your post you imply that you would rather just let it all go and have a massive depression until the system adjusts, almost like a giant worldwide death match where only the strong survive. Ok, I will grant you that some social darwinism is good to bring about change for the long term greater good, but in your scenario, when the hungry desperate mob shows up on your doorstep with nothing to lose and ready to kill and steal from you to survive, are you ready?
