they must have thought all of those sub-prime loans they made beyond the requirements of the government were going to make them a profit.
what part of the fact that they did make both a short term profit for making the initial sale, and then a long term profit when we bailed them out with tax payer funds, went over your head?
wtf?
Your gonna have to provide more information than wtf, if you want a reasoned response.
Lenders make an initial profit on all loans in the form of fees.
When the US Government sends failing lenders bail out money, the lenders end up making even more profit. Not only did we bail them out with cash we let them borrow money to buy up the failed properties at discount prices that they wanted to own, and we are paying the bad notes for CRA borrowers who don't have income, giving the failed lenders even more profit that they don't deserve, all money from the US Taxpayer.
