The collective debt will never be repaid.

Once the debtors understand that money is created by their enslavement, the system will fall.

Amid the pandemic, Americans increased both savings and spending, potentially continuing their high expenditure rates without the cushion of substantial savings, thus relying more on debt.

That sentence makes zero sense. It explodes in mid-thought.

“Austan Goolsbee, President of the Chicago Federal Reserve Bank”

I remember this Obama butt licker “economist” from his time on Fox News way back when I watched Fox. And we are supposed to believe he works in a non political bias setting monetary policy? Scumbag.

The FED has said repeatedly, and clearly, that they have to break some eggs.

For some reason some folks don’t believe them.

Q: If a person can walk into a store and take up to $900 of goods and only get a slap on the wrist; why can’t a person walk away from a $900 credit card bill?

Also if I limit my purchases to less than $900 per store; why can’t I walk away from a $9,000 credit card bill?
