Oh, plenty of people can comment. But no, they won't be able to explain why.

now wondering what they used it for? surely wasn't to prop up bad mortgages, or assure continued lending to consumers, because people with A-1 credit couldn't get home loans, banks tightened the money supply, were not lending.
