Maybe you feel like lending them the money so that they don't have to feel like a beggar, and so that you don't have to feel superior to them. I wouldn't say it's lying, it's more like accepting the risk that you won't get it back. > On the other hand, if I'm loaning someone money, it's almost certainly related to some commercial venture Would you loan maybe family or friends money for something that would be good for them lets say an education? Or would you support the government doing the same?
