No, if I loaned a buddy 100, and he said he could only pay back 90, i'd probably ask him to keep it as he probably needs that 90 dollars more than the guy who could afford to lend it, seeing he couldnt pay back the full bill. Ive got a few friends that I would GIVE 100$ in a heartbeat if they needed it. I know others whom I wouldnt piss in their mouth if they were dying of thirst.

Its far and away not the same situation. Nice try. Fail. Dont compare law, banking and global economics to a loan between friends.

Certainly not a fair comparison. After all, a friend doesn't take you to court and try to convince the judge that he loaned you $200.00, when it was really $100.00.
