Fast forward 6 months -- the 3.8 billion poorest are back to being the 3.8 billion poorest, and the only consequence, is that the billionaires (many who were self made) now have little to nothing. [/quote] Inject $750T into the pockets of the poor and let them pass it around forever. That is what a 'fix' looks like, the other plan is a band-aid for a missing limb or two. [/quote] 750 Trillion huh? [/quote] Give or take, might as well be a bit flexible, lol. The Nations owe the banks $75T at the moment. That could be reversed and it would be gone before the neglected maintenance is completed, $150T 'poof'. The OT usury laws only need a few changes, Gentiles become brothers and companies become 'strangers' who pay interest on their loans. All the money created so far has to be paid back plus 6% interest. The 'updated' version would still see the banks get 6% but the 94% stays in the community and gets passed around forever while inflation runs at 0%. What would 96% of all the money ever created add up to, my number was to show everybody could have several vacation a year if they wanted and still not miss a meal of that latest device consumers love. That means the manufacturing would be in full swing even with high unemployment. [/quote] This is like talking finance with Mike Tyson.

CNN Business) The world's billionaires are growing $2.5 billion richer every day, while the poorest half of the global population is seeing its net worth dwindle.
Billionaires, who now number a record 2,208, have more wealth than ever before, according to an Oxfam International report published Monday. Since the global financial crisis a decade ago, the number of billionaires has nearly doubled.
The annual study was released ahead of the yearly World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which brings together some of the wealthiest and most influential people on Earth. The 106-page report is meant to call attention to the growing gap between rich and poor.
