We the people and our government must borrow to live because the lenders have too much money, own the government and won't submit to the taxation or wage increases that would solve the debt problem.

Loans have always been approached (with express intent) ass backwards.

As those most able to pay for something without taking a loan - should be charged the most for taking out a loan - they won't be likely to fail in paying back the loan.

Those least able to afford to buy something without taking out a loan should be charged less interest as they will have a harder time making all of the payments.

Those who can no way in hell afford to buy something without a loan should be charged next to nothing for taking out that loan as they will have one hell of a difficult time in paying off that loan from the very 1st.

Jubilee would be a good way to reset the books of what is currently an insanely inflated economy.

I really don't think a clean wipe would do us harm! If we can do it right with the sane and rational people given a heads up on when the nuclear armagedon would come so they could independently find bomb shelters with long-wave communication devices, I think humanity could actually benefit from this forest fire! Think about it, how would a revived world look once the megalomaniacs are all eradicated? Honestly if a nuclear armagedon DOESN'T happen I'd be pressed to assassinate these psychopaths myself.
