So the banks make shady moves and need a bail out because of their bs. They get the money, and since they just got caught, and actually use it the way it should have been the whole time. From that they made a profit. Technically, wouldn’t they have made more profit if they had been behaving the whole time? So technically they did lose money.

How much money would US taxpayers had made on the bailout loan if that money were used to buy the failed banks? Or invested into equities? Or used to buy up the underwater assets directly?

"Making" 1% interest in a world where inflation is at 2% is not a good use of taxpayer money.

Surely we lost money if you include how much we overpaid for assets, land / housing and services of bailed out industries. And then how much was lost in pensions / savings due to zero interest rates.
