The way the government is trying to solve the problem of illegal money lending smacks of the way they tried to solve the problem of illegal prostitution.
Previously, to try and control illegal prostitution and hopefully reduce the incidences of rape, they legalised prostitution.
Currently, to try and control illegal money lending and hopefully reduce the incidences of robbery, they legalised money lending.
Unfortunately, those "bright sparks" didn''t realise one huge difference between legal prostitution and legal money lending.
Those who partake in the former have money, they fuck and they go away and when they feel like it, they go again.
Whereas those who partake in the latter are desperate and having this outlet will inevitably make them even more desperate. Eventually, the licensed money lenders will pay the price also, when the borrowers start borrowing from them to pay the loan sharks.
