Federal, state and local debt exceeds size of entire economy. And, there are pollyannas who actually believe the promises of pollyticians that they're gonna fix it. Federal, state and local debt hits post-WWII levelsFebruary 20, 2011; 11:33 PM https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/c ... 03201.htmlThe daunting tower of national, state and local debt in the United States will reach a level this year unmatched just after World War II and already exceeds the size of the entire economy, according to government estimates. But any similarity between 1946 and now ends there. The U.S. debt levels tumbled in the years after World War II, but today they are still climbing and even deep cuts in spending won't completely change that for several years.

The entropy of our systems is more apparent every day.

I agree with Shakespear, Usury should be illegal.

Ha! I'm reading the book The ascent of Money - Niall Ferguson - the history of our monetary system. Great book.
"Usurers had been excommunicated by the Third Lateran Council in 1179. Christian usurers had to make restitution to the Church before they could be buried on hallowed ground. The power of this taboo should not be underestimated though it had certainly weakened by Shakespears time" "Jews, too, were not supposed to lend at interest. But there was a convenient get out clause in the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy: Unto a stranger thou mayest lend open usury, but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury".
So, lend to the christians and charge interest!
I think usury is okay, with legal limitations (and I'm not talking govt approved rating agencies!). I think fractional reserve banking is bullshit though!

How long before USA transforms into a country that has third world class system of extremes:rich vs poor. The Middle Class is dwindling day by day.
But who cares about the Middle Class working people right? Corrupt/irresponsible/filthy rich banks, airlines, automobile companies need to be bailed out first!
