I understand what you're saying..but here's the thing..lets just say this..
Number 3: I'm going to GIVE you 20 dollars and loan you 10.
ViperTomcat: Thanks! I'm going to keep the 20 dollars and pay you back the loan for 10! We're even..
Number 3: Ok! wait a second...
All I've done is paid off your loan with the non-loan money you gave me. Yes I may have changed my ways to not need a loan in the future, or more money, but the fact is all I did was form a money circle.
I'm thrilled that GM isnt owing on a loan to the Federal Government, but I am less thrilled that the money they used to pay off that loan was through tax payer sourced money.
