Over 95% of money in circulation are forms of debt to the commercial bank. Confounded? Disbelieve? Rage?

This is one reason why the ever escalating mountain of debt (government, commercial and private) cannot be repaid. Paying down the debt means reducing the money supply and will trigger a severe recession. It is mind boggling, but it is absolutely true!

There is another factor - all loans carries interest. Try to figure out what this means. I will get back to this point later.

"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." Henry Ford
