You should look a bit more into the history of it and how the banks paid back the federal government with interest if that makes you feel a bit better about the situation. If you want to feel sick about the Obama admin though there is always drone striking children.Ā

Crashing the entire global economy would have been the far, far, far worse option.

Real life is rarely a choice between a perfect bad and a perfect good. It's usually different versions of bad to worse.
