We saw what happened in 2008 when the loans went to unsophisticated, underqualified borrowers.

2008 (or rather, the lead-in to 2008) was a different case.

In that case the lenders were the ones who were the problem, and the borrowers were indeed using the money as disposable income (well, at least, to buy a home and other consumer goods on credit).

Whereas today the money goes from the printers to the rich people - not the common folk.
