So, again, cite me something tangible. So far you've made broad sweeping generalizations which have amounted to little more than irrational fear due to being misinformed.
The difference here is that while banks DO have the ability to set the terms of loan REPAYMENT, they don't have the ability to set terms on how the money is to be USED or how the business is RUN, which takes out the loan. The GOOBERMENT has not only set the terms of repayment, but also how the companies may USE the money, as well as how the companies are to be run.
