Remember the sub-prime mortgage crisis and the government bailouts using taxpayer money?

Yeah I do, but then I remember the government bailing them out then the banks learning nothing and continuing the same behavior.

The loan forgiveness never happened in the US. But here it seems they've preemptively discharged loans they don't think they can make money on. This is... new
