Dobbs is a populist, saying only what lay people want to hear. As much as the idea of spending money to buy debts seems to make sense, buying $200 billion in real estate would be a deflationary action. All the checkbook money created from that debt, along with the checkbook money that debt is based upon, would cease to exist. Debt is designed to be serviced, not repaid. If home loans are repaid, the money that was created by securitizing the loans is taken out of circulation. Repay enough debts and money eventually disappears.


So, in other words, When Paulson made his pitch to buy up the toxic assets, that were supposedly freezing up credit, in order to get the $700 billion package together, he was lying?

I don't know whether to more scared of a liar or someone that is incompetent.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Duende', 'B')asically, I've come to believe that the money being given to the banks is meant to replace money that never really existed to begin with. It just disappeared, like a goddamn ghost in the night


That's the deal with fractional banking (= "exponential usury"). You miraculously turn debt into money and create more and more fractional debt ("money) on top of that. So debt crunch means that money vaporazes.

What it seems like is that the fractional debt-money on debt money is so huge, that if all debt was payed back, there would not only be zero dollars left. There would be negative dollars, like goddam gosts in the night. Zombie vampire ghost, because negative dollar sucks the life from it's owner and turns it into an zombie :)...
