Reply #13: Why am I cynical that billions already have not gone to shoring up the system...

...but without oversight, to line the pockets of the well connected and wealthy with Swiss bank accounts.

I can't wrap my mind around the billions and billions of dollars that have already been dispensed --- and many of us won't even see a dime of it?

Yes, in a practical sense I'm glad we can avoid chaos, but somewhere in the mix is the fundamental principal of fairness. To oversimplify, if I had just said --- fuck it --- and did not pay my house payment for the past 4-6 months, would I be in a better position to get an interest rate reduction and save hundreds of dollars more per month in lower payments and/or interest reductions?
