The other possibility is that people are actually stupid/lazy/greedy/short sighted or simply uninformed and don't understand how their actions lead to various outcomes.

I agree with this, but you think governments are needed to help with this. I think governments are, at least, partly responsible for people being this way. I want government regulation reduced so people learn to be more responsible. It's like a teenage kid whose parents give them a car, they go out drive it into the ground and wreck it. Then the parents go out and buy them another one, no questions asked. The kid isn't going to learn and the irresponsible behavior is going to continue.
