That’s the point. You are assuming that every applicant is AA size... the reality is that 99% of businesses are not, and you’re killing those business, their employees, their owners, and their families.

I don't think anyone has clarified the actual rules in play here. Why should the taxpayer bail out firms which go on to pay dividends within 5 years? Why shouldn't the state simply take stock as a guarantee for loans in these companies?
