"The fact some of the banks paid back what was given to them on very favorable terms...is just a drop in the bucket compared to damage done to the economy," Of course; an ER doc may tie off all the bleeders on a patient who lost his leg, but that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the damage done to the body. However, the patient is alive to bitch about it. "If the U.S. government had provided money to ordinary business at zero interest rates what would our economy be like?," ILSHIAPIMP. The right would have loved that. Talk about "socialism". Would have been a hell of an interesting experiment, tho.
