As it should. The lenders were playing with an unfair advantage. They were the only ones with implied assurance that the federal government had their back should something go wrong.

It's one thing to irresponsibly put yourself at risk when the playing field is even. It's an entirely different ballgame to knowingly take advantage of people in a situation where you had an insurmountable advantage which guarantees that you can't lose the game.
