Un-Super Size Me

On the one hand we hear people lamenting that lenders have been too free with their loans, giving sometimes "predatory" loans to people who could not afford them. In this instance, a bank is being criticized for doing exactly the opposite. Seems to me you cannot have it both ways. Incidentally, anyone who is using a home equity loan to meet current expenses (like child care) is probably not being financially prudent by any stretch of that term.
