So the entire planet is $100 trillion in debt. In debt to whom? Why is the whole world in debt to a handful of people? Who gave them the keys to the earth? This system is a joke, and they know it. Laughing all the way to the banks they themselves created, spending money they print at will, while enslaving the human race with interest rates on debts we will never be able to pay back. Must be nice to issue currency out of thin air and then demand to be paid back interest for it after you "lend" it out.
The best part about it? They drill it into our heads from the time we are young that this is the only way it can work. There are no better systems. This is as good as it gets. You just have to play by the rules and accept the way it is.edit on 9-3-2014 by DeadSeraph because: (no reason given)

I mentioned countries plural, and I made no reference to quantitative easing. Do you pick and choose what you want to read?

Oh no I agree on the debt....excluding Norway...I think they are in the green...but if everything collapses its going to be countries like Cuba who have really gone to organic farming and solar energy and things like that....a large portion of their infrastructure is self sustaining...now on their ability to get parts to maintain and fix things that may be a different question entirely...they barely have tools.

Does anyone know where all this money goes to, that all these countries are indebted to? I don't buy the idea that the money is scattered all over the place. Break it down into hillbilly for me, even though I'm not a hillbilly. I guess the simple answer is China, but I personally don't think that the answer is that obvious.

According the Bank for International Settlements, global debts worldwide have increased 40% since 2007 to over $100 Trillion.

Islam had interest free mortgages, but they factored in a 10% profit margin for the lender, so it works out the same but without the varying interest rates.
