The solution is simple - don't borrow money that you can't pay back.
Oh man! You mean it's that simple?!
If I make a loan to someone that I know can't pay it back, yet I still demand payment until they do, is there any really substantial difference between me and an extortioner?
Or another analogy that I like. Let's say that I know someone with a drug addiction. Instead of helping them get free from their addiction, I instead provide them drugs and make money off of them. How is that any different from loaning money to someone that you know has no means of paying it back?
