Bailouts were not gifts, but debt traps – loans at interest rates lower than the private sector but still unmanageably high.
Anyone,
The concept of credit can be measured. The concept of debt can be measured. How does the concept of credit measure up in competition with the concept of debt? Put on your thinking caps and work on it, if you please, this a challenge, and you can be capable of meeting the challenge, you don't have to depend upon the authorities to solve your problems for you, getting something for nothing is possible, in theory, but in practice, measurably, someone will get the smelly end of the stick.
The concept of debt, in competition with the concept of credit, is a fight for your power, and a fight that will make or break you, and everyone else tangled up in that battle, so solve the problem. No one else will. No one else can. The problem will remain your problem until such time as you solve it. The view from someone else, aiming at you, is that your problem is their solution. They get something for nothing, and you work harder, and harder, to make sure that they keep getting something for nothing, since you fail to know the facts, and since you fail to do something about it.
I'm speaking about real things. I'm speaking to anyone who has ever paid for a home mortgage, even one dime, 10 pennies, you earn, and then you send those 10 pennies to someone else, and someone else grows that much more powerful, and you grow that much weaker - but only 10 pennies, so who cares?
Suppose, for illustration, the objective viewpoint focuses awareness to a time in history just after G.I. Joe was financed and sent to torture and murder the enemy of the day, who was also financed by the same cabal of legal criminals, and the time is 1945, and all the Government Issue Joe's return home, in boxes, or in bandages, or on drugs.
Suppose, at that time, every debt collector decided to credit honest productive people instead, on the subject of home mortgages, not yet on the subject of business mortgages, and not yet on the subject of productive enterprise loans, or productive entrepreneurial mortgages, for now, focus attention only on home mortgages, whereby the former debt collectors decided to abandon their pyramid scheme, and instead, the honest productive people filled the void left void by the exodus of the legal criminals, and the void was filled with the beginning of the age of credit, a regime change of moral significance.
What happens in this illustration after that regime change, after the legal criminals crawl back down under their rocks, through their self-made Hell holes, and return to their devil god from which their minds spawned? What happens, after World War II, if instead of Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports being written, published, and shared by the legal criminals, instead, the void left by the absence of legal crime was filled with a honest productive and credit worthy, voluntary, connection among fellow producers of surplus wealth - instead of legal crime?
How can an age of credit compare, competitively, in stark contrast with an age of debt?
It may be interesting to note, that following the money helps, and without interest flowing from those who create wealth, to those who steal it, the numbers add up much differently in one case, starkly contrasted against the other.
Example A (Income Tax):
Since World War II, according to the exposures of Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, a flow of surplus wealth, from those who create it, to those who steal it, is documented, and that flow has made the people on the short end of the stick weaker, and that flow has made the people on the long end of the stick stronger, and that is as easy to see as a simple math problem, if you want to look.
Example B (Monopoly Banking Interest):
Forget about the simple math problem, that you would have to do, you would have to learn, you would have to ask, and then you would have to solve, in your own mind, math problems concerning Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports, as surplus wealth went from those who create it to those who steal it since World War II, and instead, consider working on something less complicated.
Each new honest productive person entering the social network of America since World War II is thrust into a situation whereby the honest productive person must sink or swim, and swimming requires a toll charge, and the toll charge is a mortgage interest payment, which is the focus of Example B (Monopoly Banking Interest), presented before you right now, but have little fear, this is easy.
Since World War II, honest productive people have been buying houses, and business properties, but this objective viewpoint, this accurate viewpoint, can focus attention on the home purchases, for now, and when an honest productive person, since World War II, bought a home, they paid for two, and they got one, roughly speaking.
The math part of this problem is already solved.
The honest productive members of American society, race X, race Y, race Z, young, not so young, old, male, female, something in between, it does not matter who paid more, it does not matter who paid less, not right now, right now the focus of attention concerns the average and the average since World War II is roughly one home owned, but two homes purchased.
Who gets each extra home?
The math goes beyond comprehensibility, there are two many zeros, since World War II, as all the honest productive Americans, any one of them, and all of them, paid, on average, one extra home, for the privilege of keeping, and maintaining, the home they buy in livable condition, which is yet again another money pit. Pay for two, get one.
How got all those extra homes?
What difference would it make if instead of that having happened, something else happened?
Instead of debt being the regime in force since World War II, what happens if credit is the regime change that occurred right after VJ Day, which was soon, but not soon enough for some, after VE Day?
1945 to today, honest productive people have been buying homes, paying for two homes, getting one home, and sending the second home to the people running the Monopoly Banking Cartel, or Cabal, or Extortion Racket, or whatever word is printed on their stationary, and note, that the value of the extra home didn't go to the honest productive employees of the Banks, who themselves where buying homes, paying for two, and sending the extra cash, each month, to somewhere, where that money was then spent.
G.I. Joe, or G.I. Jane, or whomever, the waitress, the burger flipper, the car mechanic, the firefighter, the carpenter, the taxi driver, the peace officer, the movie theater attendant, the nurse, the movie theater owner, the doctor, the gas station owner, the bridal shop salesperson, whomever, doesn't pay for two homes, they pay for one, what happens?
Each month, each person, works, and works, and works, and pays, and pays, and pays, each payment, each month, since World War II, and each month each person pays for their home, and each person pays for a second home, sending one entire extra home price to the Banking Monopoly, in the debt based social network, the way things are, and in the illustrated way that things can be, those people, since World War II, pay, each month, their earnings, after working, after eating, after expenses of life, after working more, and working more, pay, and pay, for only one home, in the credit based, proposed, solution to the problem, social network.
What happens?
What is the measurable difference between the debt based social network and the credit based social network as all the workers who did earned two entire costs of each home, buying one home, and sending an extra home cost to the Banking Monopoly Profiteers, stopped sending all that power to that one place, and they all, instead, kept all that surplus wealth that they created, they earned it, they kept it, to the tune of one entire home price, on average?
What happens?
Make it personal, if you are having any trouble at all, with this concept.
Start today, if you are paying a home mortgage, start thinking in terms of today, and make it personal, consider stepping in someone's shoes who was someone like you, living in American, just after World War II, you look ahead to 1946, you look ahead to the next decade, 1950, and you have to pay for two homes so as to get one, or, you have to pay for one home to get one home.
A. Debt based
B. Credit based
How does one stack up, in stark contrast, competitively, against the other one?
Back to the quote that inspired my above rant:
Bailouts were not gifts, but debt traps – loans at interest rates lower than the private sector but still unmanageably high.
What is the interest rate? What is the meaning of the word unmanageably? Who has to pay? Who receives the pay? Why is the price set by the producer? Why does the producer have the power to dictate the price? Why are other producers not offering a lower price, and higher quality, and therefore why is the power to set the price not in the command of the honest productive people who produce the stuff that the seller wants in exchange for what the seller makes?
You can't solve a debt based social network problem with debt based social network solutions; decapitation is not a cure for a headache, or ignorance.
If the problem is a lack of surplus wealth, not enough people producing more than people consume, then the solution isn't to consume more in the process of making sure that honest productive people can't produce anything. That is not a solution to the lack of surplus wealth problem, that is a solution to the I am having trouble getting something for nothing, problem, or, the problem any criminal encounters when the victims run out of stuff to steal.
Problem: The victims are bled dry.
Solution: Turn on your fellow criminals, bleed them dry too.
There are other names for the same solution.
A. Race to the bottom
B. Rat race
C. The final solution
This isn't news. This is well known stuff, as well known, by anyone who figures it out, as the certain knowledge that the problem is, generally speaking, on average: ignorance.
Example:

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
If you benefit from a debt based social structure, it may be well enough, that things keep flowing in that direction.
If you earn credit, because you are an honest productive person, why do you have to pays someone else for that accomplishment?
What happens when good behavior is punished, while, at the same time, lying, stealing, torture, and mass murder is rewarded?
How about a score board?

You don't have to play that game, really, it is meant to self-destruct, that is the purpose of it, it will, eventually, no longer be a choice, therefore it may be a good idea to find, and then start using, higher quality stuff, at a much lower cost, sooner, and it may be a good idea to avoid settling for something even less as good as that abomination.
Or not
