If you owe the bank twenty thousand you have a problem.

If you owe the bank twenty million they have a problem.

Why don't you lend some of your money out and charge interest rather than expecting large financial institutions take all the risk?

Why not just allow people to pay with photocopied fivers? It saves money on printing presses.
