Banks, they did the right thing, to stabilize their industry
They sure did, didn't they? And fucked the entire world in the process. The very FACT that you're taking up for the people who caused this financial collapse is proof evident that you are simply part of the problem. Come to your sense and join the human race, or rot with the rest of the murdering sycophants. That's the choice you have to make, David. Make it a good one.
Oh, and BTW, keep your armchair-finance lessons to yourself. I've worked for banks. I spent nearly seven years working for the Home Affordable Modification Program. My entire job was to simply try and keep those taken advantage by the bankers from losing everything they had worked for. Everyone from retiree couples that live the Republican lifestyle, to Democratic twenty-somethings trying to get started in life. Yes, there are plenty out there that listened to the greedy side of their heart and made foolish decisions when it came to buying a house. But, it's the bankers responsibility to not "trick" them into doing so. And if you're HALF as educated on the subject as you claim to be, you'll know that's an absolute, irrefutable fact. The Bankers are guilty of fraud. The Federal Reserve took BILLIONS from the government, and then had the audacity to refuse to tell anyone where that money was going. When we know, for a fact, that it went to overseas bankers and billionaires.
MEANWHILE, good people are losing their lives because of the goddamn criminals on Wall Street and sitting in DC. And if you can't see that, then we're simply on opposing sides of the issue. There is no "gray area" when it comes to this. The facts, victims, and guilty parties are all clearly defined. Grow a spine, let your balls drop, and take a fucking STAND against this illegal hijacking of the American Financial System. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and get the hell out of the way. Those your only two choices.
