If the alternative is the Fed lending that money to banks who would then cut a profit on it, lending it again to private companies while assuming very little risk, I'd rather have the Fed buy the bonds directly without a middleman. Of

I don't see why we would want a public official to be financially ruined for a mistake in which she did not benefit financially. Vengeance is a fool's game, and it's not like she's going to repeat that mistake.
