Instead of giving the default money to banks they could have given it to the "bad credit" mortgage holders, who could have used it to pay their mortgages. The money still goes to banks but people get houses too.

But greed demands they own the debt and the house after taking all the money first. Corpos gotta really squeeeeeze to get that last drop.
