I don't think optimizing the performance of banks the create trillions of debt and were bailed out trillions of dollars is "in the interest of taxpayers".

The US government bailed out banks by effectively purchasing large portions of their assets and tasking the banks with continuing to administer these troubled assets. In the end it worked in that the US eventually was able to sell those assets back at an accounting (though not economic) profit.
