    Banks.

    When they make profit it is privately shared.

    When they are going broke they want the public to bail them out.

    Yep I saw it,I was surprised to see it,but I think it's a good thing.

    If you can borrow money to buy cars and houses etc,why not IVF too?

    Maybe ASB is diversifying. They will now foreclose on your kids, they'll be called indentured employees.

    The big banks aren't the same thing as a dodgy loan shark.

    Are you really sure about that ? Look what happened to the big banks in the sub-prime crisis in the USA lending money to people who couldn't afford to pay it back ...

    The only difference is the big banks won't break your legs if you miss a payment ... they just take you to court and make you bankrupt ...

    The banks here don't want to hand out money unless they're reasonably confident they'll get it back. It costs them money to pay a lawyer to take someone to court.

    A loan shark doesn't give a phuck, they'll just hire a couple of thugs to steal your car, TV and the mrs.
