on a lot of what we the people had no knowledge:

Be sure to go to page two of the article and note the last two sentences, especially the very last sentence of the article:
"Sanders, for one, said these banks got off easy while receiving extraordinary aid. In rescuing these firms, the Fed never required them to lend to small businesses, modify the mortgages of homeowners or invest in a way that would create jobs.
"We bailed these guys out, but the requirements placed upon them had very little positive impact on the needs of ordinary Americans," Sanders said."
And the priorities of our government are? Hopefully there will be no rhetoric about how much worse off we could have been without the actions...please!
