and equally worrying, financial institutions that have a lent a lot of
-
for example, sub-prime debt now find themselves in financial trouble.
-
You're going to read a lot in the papers about
-
not letting people out lightly out of those situations of being in debt,
-
or not letting people out lightly out of bankruptcy.
-
The term you're going to hear is "bail out."
-
So bail out--the argument you're going to read is,
-
you don't want the government or the central bank
-
bailing out those financial institutions
-
who have apparently taken too large risks on sub-prime mortgage debts
-
even though we all agree it's better right now
-
for those financial institutions not to go under.
