You gave no intelligent response to my point that the Fed printed money that allowed the banks to settle their bailout debts.

Your response wasn't intelligent.

The banks borrowed money from the feds. The banks paid that money back plus interest in almost every case. The net effect on the cost to the taxpayers was almost zero.
