No great surprises. Up until now, no one has been allowed to invent fictitious money and actually spend it. The US started it by selling sheds to black men in string vests and then inventing more money to sell more sheds to black men in string vests.
The UK followed suit, with every bank or credit card company falling over themselves to lend the great unwashed unheard of amounts of money, money they could never ever repay, spent on furnishing two bed houses they couldn’t actually afford to buy anyway.
Who complained? Certainly not China or India who couldn’t keep up with the demand for chocolate fountains, BMX bikes or PS3’s. Did we complain? Nah, it was all on the never never and house prices were going up so fast, all you had to do was wait six months and remortgage and bingo, a new car AND a plasma.
And now it is revealed the emperor is stark bollock naked and all that money didn’t really exist. It was made up money, not backed by gold or assets.
So fuck ‘em. The money wasn’t real. So they can’t ask for it back, can they?
My advice:
Don’t pay your debts. Tell them to fuck off, they’ve had billions of tax payers money, take it out of that instead. It’s not real money anyway.
What’s the worse that could happen if EVERYBODY just said fuck off, leave me alone?
The banks would fold (big deal) as our elected representatives did as we told them. The slate would be clean and the pavements full of dead bankers or dead politicians.
Win win
