From G. Edward Griffin's book, The Creature From Jekyll Island - A Second Look at the Federal Reserve:Chapter Two: The Name of the Game is Bailout
The final solution on behalf of the banking cartel [i.e., the Federal Reserve and those private banks, such as Morgan, etc.] is to have the federal government guarantee payment of the loan should the borrower default in the future. This is accomplished by convincing Congress that not to do so would result in great damage to the economy and hardship for the people. From that point forward, the burden of the loan is removed from the bank's ledger and transferred to the taxpayer.
