We have 14 and a half trillion Dollars in debt and counting.
Others have made some good points, but the fact is: It is mathematically IMPOSSIBLE to pay off ANY debt the way our intrinsically-evil debt-as-money system works.
We "owe" MUCH more than actually EXISTS. Every single dollar is "loaned into existence", and
each one is interest-bearing. Where, pray tell, are we supposed to get the non-existent money to pay off the interest? Why, BORROW IT!! LOL! Even if our debt were as little as ONE DOLLAR, we could not pay it off. Pretending we could do so, then there would be NO MONEY in circulation, which is hardly a solution to the problem.
The ONLY solution is to tell the Banksters to GO TO HELL and take their evil system with them. They are lying, thieving murderers and we don't owe them anything. We owe ourselves a little courage and self-respect, but don't hold your breath that enough of us will muster enough of either to actually do anything truly intelligent or manly about our debt slavery.
