Exactly. The banks (stockholders) gained at the expense of the taxpayers. I don’t think the banks were treated fairly in the events leading up to the crisis ( gov’t forcing them to give credit to people that can’t pay it back). Another example of the gov’t screwing up and the people paying for it.

Also a good point.
