These people are basically criminals. They stole money from taxpayers by lying to them about what it was going to be used for, then bought up all the assets at a time when no one else had money. Now they are rolling in dough while everyone else suffers. This is what the Federal Reserve is, a banking cartel designed to eliminate competition from the biggest banks and put banking losses on the backs of mainstreet Americans.
