There 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.
You are glad that rich execs play Heads they win and Tails they dont lose game at the expense of the taxpayer?
