Consider that we easily could have spent the same amount of money and given it directly to taxpayers. Then we all could have paid down our mortgages and loans, and real estate values could have returned to a reasonable level, and banks would not have been in peril.

Maybe you do! I personally do not feel that I deserve any such thing...
OP knows what you've been up to.
Rather than bailing the banks out they should bail out the mortgages for owner occupied houses. That way people won't be thrown on the streets because their bank was acting predatory.
Then jail the bankers and financiers that cause depressions and seize their assets to cover the bail out.
Right? It’s not the bailout that upsets me, it’s how they did it and the fact that all the bankers executives weren’t jailed and prevented from working in financial markets again indefinitely.
Do you think another Great Depression would be a good thing?
OP thinks a bunch of Americans deserve to punished (potentially die), not because of any of their actions, but because the government and private groups (who will be the least effected) victimize said Americans. The beatings will continue until the economy improves, fucking genius.
That's your fantasy about what I think.
Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times. We are in the fourth quarter of this game, currently. Weak men are creating hard times.
What is a strong or weak man? Who defined what it is to be a strong or weak man? Why are men the only indicator of a good or bad times? Do the experiences and perspectives of people who are not strong men provide no insight in to what are considered good or bad times?
I would like to know the goal of posting a broad statement such as this. It just seems like a statement to create more personal and "weaker" enemies. Having more enemies sounds exhausting. Or maybe I'm reading into it wrong.
You really can't decipher the meaning? It implies strength is being able to live and survive in hard times, and those who do are in a greater position to improve things for the future than those who have grown and lived in more stable times. Those who've only known stability lack the understanding to cope with some of the changes as we are now experiencing. It further claims those who've lived in stability put others at risk.
