Taxpayers aren't paying for this, and in 2008 the government actually made money on the bailouts, so taxpayers didn't pay for that either.

- TurkishPoptart 4y agoHow come this won't cause inflation? That hurts taxpayers.
- sumedh 4y agoThere was no guarantee that the govt will make money but there is a guarantee it creates a moral hazard. If you are a banker take excessive risks and enjoy the profits, if things go wrong, the govt will bail you out. Heads I win, Tails I dont lose. You also ignored that govt/Fed keeps printing more money, so the taxpayer ultimately loses with inflation.
