I won't make it easy for you, and with you being the financial genius that you claim it shouldn't take you long to nail it....but I'll give you a clue...its someone who got bailed out with tax payer money already before this extra sweet deal.
And businesses aren't encouraged to take on credit my friend..thats just lousy policy. In downturns you restrict and save on the bottom line in order to wait it out and pick the spot to expand again when the return is a given. Low rates might be good for new companies to get a start or for some minor upgrades to existing businesses to create more efficiency but just taking on debt because rates are low with no viable plan to use that money is a recipe for failure.
