Would you? A theoretical question.

RE: Would you? A theoretical question.
Brian, in all seriousness, the elite (govt/fed res/banksters) have made sure we all become debt slaves who must work till we die.

EG: My mustang cost $3K new in 71. Today you buy one for $50k. The elite don't need to impoverish underhandely, they do it in broad daylight via inflation and their preplanned economic collapses. Who needs apes Dunno We've got the real monsters living among us now...

RE: Would you? A theoretical question.
I'm dead under both scenarios, so what's the point.

Same point as to any of your views and actions whose effects are unlikely to avail your own living person.

Debt is good. You have no idea how economy works.

Debt is good for the creditors you're indebted to.
Not quite as good for the debtees.

Not if interest rates are low or negative.

Low interest rates? That would be good for me. Then I'm not paying for something almost twice over. Big Grin
Oh, you mean it wouldn't be good for the creditors? That's their problem, not mine.

You should thank Fed for that. Without central bank interest rates would be much higher

RE: Would you? A theoretical question.
Tell me how good debt is later this year.
There will be blood on the streets.

Nixon took us off the gold standard in 71... the best thing he ever did for banks with our worthless bullshit fiat money.

We'll be back on it before the end of the next decade. It worked very well for 5,000 years...
