So the banks would pay the money?

    Yes. Then the government would bail out the banks. The executives that authorised those loans would have to leave (with a huge severance) while the politicians who facilitated that rescue would end up on some well-paid advisory board.

    The taxpayers, of course, foot the bill. Get a dollar, lose two.
