>Could you ever think that maybe people tried forgiving loans because borrowers were truly screwed over? It would be easier to believe if effort was put in to pass the policy via the proper legal channels.

Regardless of whether or not the borrowers are screwed over, this was clearly political maneuvering and a token gesture at "solving" the problem rather than an honest attempt.
