” you owe the bank $1,000,000, and the bank has the problem “

And we’re just now finding out how *big* the banks’ ‘problem’ really is......

What happens when they figure out that there aren’t enough assets in the world to settle all of the outstanding debt??

That's Senator Everett Dirksen's line. "If you owe the bank $10,000, you have a problem. But, if you owe the bank $1,000,000, the bank has a problem..."
