complicit irresponsibility
The amalgamation of complicit irresponsibility that led to the collapse of financial institutions and the auto industry, et al., is the result of spectacularly poor management by industry leaders and facilitated by a calculating, self-absorbed, power-craving government, i.e., a Congress that was eagerly willing to behave in whatever way best entrenched its interest.

Offtimes, what we call help is simply aiding and abetting irresponsibility.

NB: I believe that there may be other viable possibilities, but given the tone and legal context of the source text, I think this is a good choice.
