No of-course not, Barry
. The State should not have a role in lending you say, but it was alright for the State to lend money to a couple of - and perhaps a couple more - British banks back in 2008!
You know this money was lent to the banks, Barry, and must be paid back. Until such time, those banks are partly State owned.
Considering this, I fully reassert my claim that the State should lend money to people in general when a need for covering essential expenses arises, and at an interest rate not superior to inflation.
Your last line, Barry, deserves some of the quotes that I have been receiving from you on (ignorance) of economic affairs. Of-course I will spare you these
By the way, Barry, how much does the State charge these banks on interest for the money the State lent them?
