Homeowners could have been protected means they didn’t have to lose their homes and could have restructured that debt. It obviously doesn’t have to mean clearing the mortgage. But the freaking Fed dropped trillions anyways. It all just went to the actual criminals.

Where the hell is that anger when the money goes to freaking criminal corporations?
