It has to hurt the people who profited from this mess, too.
No. It has to hurt the people who are *responsible* for the mess and those who chose to take risks.
Agree, that's actually what I meant.
However, it can not be that other now pay the profits that where generated by that risks.
Still on this bank accounts massive interests where paid, backed by those risks. A full bailout would also mean to bail out the money generated by those interests. A bail out with money from people that didn't receive those interests. How is that better?
