    one of your better ones ilargi;; I’ll be sending a link to it to some people whom I think need to read it in the worst way. Just not sure what their reaction will be.

    Sorry to be argumentative RE but back in the 40s my buddy and I would always go around looking for empty soda pop bottles and we always got 2 cents apiece for them and a nickle for the quart size. So we could go to the movies on Sat. afternoon which cost 15 cents to get in. If we couldn’t find enough, we would always go behind the Crawfords grocery store where they kept them in pop cases and take what we needed to get us the 15 cents. Then go around front and cash them in. What we didn’t know was they knew what we were doing, but it was war time and they figured it was worth it.

    1. Use cash. Main Street doesn’t have enough bank credit and federal reserve notes to pay back its debt. Giving the financial oligarch front corporation (Visa / MC / mega banks) 3% of everything of you spend on a credit card only makes the matter worse. ~10% of transactions are cash now. 90% of what we spend spins off 3% to the financial system that is literally waging war against us and the world.

    IMHO: That’s exactly what needs to happen; think about it for a moment;;;;; There isn’t enough physical paper in use to make this idea work; so what would the Gov. have to do?? Physically print up enough paper to make it work. There would be a whole bunch of people scream!!!!! ” This would result in HIGH INFLATION”. Not really if done right;;;;; Remember we are not going to use our credit cards anymore, (that is “we” the small people). Yes the BANKS would scream; but let them scream;; The people would simply have to scream, I don’t want your credit paper, I want green backs. They then could use the green backs to pay off the debts they had incurred. this system would only work if over 90% of the population precipitated. Having said that;;;;;; I can also say, IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN people are addicted to the credit card, and its “get it now pay for it later” meme is to well imprinted in our culture;;;;;

    edit: Remember,,, the gov. can only print, to meet the demand, NOT JUST INDISCRIMINATELY PRINT & dump it out of helicopters
