The problem is those invested in mortgage securities goes far beyond mortgage companies.

And many of the lenders aren't "eating" it. They are being saved (poorly) at taxpayer cost by a government arm headed by a man who lobbied both Congress and the SEC to relax financial industry regulation while he headed an investment bank.
