Then the information I am trying to convey to you is this: Uncle Sam does not operate as a business. If Uncle Sam is a party to a transaction, market forces are not what moves the transaction. In the real world, borrowers who default on loans are in deep doo-doo. In the Uncle Sam world, social consequences matter. They matter even more when circumstances are extraordinary. The US government mitigates, or damps down, the consequences of the movements of the invisible hand.
