As a third class citizen of a third world nation, I always await the

这个大学开口子贷款的事情，其实很像资本主义的经典故事，
就是前段时间那个撞飞机的人说的那句话。
The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility,
to each according to his greed
资本主义信条： 各人使其奸诈，然后按贪婪分配！
朱鎔基在位，98年大学扩招，各大学校开始向银行贷款，
大兴土木，顺便改善生活，拼命贷款，从国家拿钱。
当时的领导根本就不考虑将来能不能还钱的问题，反正
过些年他们升迁的升迁，调动的调动，他们打得就是将来
不要还钱的谱。这样，他们当然要从银行拼命贷款，
越多越好，钱不要自己还，自己还有大把的政绩，简直无本
万利。
几年过去了，很多学校大了好几圈，校领导奥迪，奔驰的到
处跑，很是风光了一把。那末高潮期过去，该开始还钱了，
结果学校没那末多钱，还不起了，怎么办？
