Goldman-Sachs and other corrupting cabals.

In essence the financial sector was deregulated, they paid for this,
so that a financial elite could put us into debt so as to enrich them.

The more they lend you, the more you bid up the housing maket, the
more you have to borrow to outbid the couple next to you.  A shitload
of immigration helps the prices to go up even more.

You end up in debt, effectively a debt slave.

Now the tax payer is expected to bail out the banks bad investment.
Someone walks of with the money.

I bet you find much of the Greek debt is Greek millionaires buying
foreign buisinesses.

Most of icelands debts, (10 times its GDP) were just icelandic
businessmen borrowing from icelanding banks which had borrowed from
overseas banks to buy foreign businesses.


Default is the way forward.

China, Japan, Germany, France

Probably in that order.

I agree, what other way is there? And, it's not a matter of if, but when 
will Greece throw in the towel.

Normally if a country can't pay its debt they lower the value of their 
currency. This makes their exports more attractive, and people flood in to 
take cheap holidays and shopping trips. Money starts moving again.

But how will Greece lower it's currency when they use the Euro. Simple, go 
back to the Drachma. But how well will that work? Will the Greeks rush the 
banks to take out their Euros the very moment plans to re-introduce the old 
currency are announced?

At what rate will the new Drachma be valued? If they float it, it will 
probably sink and inflation will rule. If they fix it and over value it, the 
currency will be black marketed.

No matter what happens, it'll all end up a friggin' nightmare!

This is a very good question and one that the main stream media always 
ignore. I get that it is China NOW, but how did it happen? And The USA has 
been in debt for a long time, it hasn't always been to China has it?

Nope because governments always freeze currency transactions before making 
any such announcement.

No doubt, and you can't default without creating a nightmare. No one will 
lend to you again for a long time!

It's what happens when you import more value than you export.

China for quite a while, mostly Japan before that.

Part of the assets of a bank is your mortgage and
loan collateral.

Chinese banking interests foreclosing on bankdebts and
taking posession of your house/car/furniture to be auctioned
off in a Zero credit environment at severely deflated `collapsed market`
 prices with the mint printing off dollars like toilet paper to try and
keep the place pumping.

Having a good paying job is no real protection iether.
As I saw in the early 90's,when a crashing property market devalues
property used as  colateral on a loan and the market value of the colateral
drops below the loan, the bank will require more or sufficient colateral.
to insure their loan or they havethe option of foreclosing.

So without missing a payment, you are vulnerable to have your collateral
sold at auction in a desperate market in a mortgagee sale.

Bankcard was introduced to Australia in about 1975.

When Australia started selling it's Gold reserves to invest in the
share market, it made me wonder who was buying all these tons of Gold ...

They owe the money to the future. People have "loaned" governments money
with the collateral of future populations being taxed to pay off the debt.

All loans are a trade of something you have for cash, if you don't have
current assets then you - as a government or as a person - trade what you
in all probability will have.

It is when the confidence in the "probability" reduces or someone
figures out that the "probability" is based on total BS that the problems
begin.

Add in the distasteful fact that by manipulating the perceptions of that
probability enables some people to make lots of money (regardless of the
consequences) then you have the current state of the "market".

We need to increase world food supplies by 70% by 2050 to cater for the 9 
billion that will be hungry. I think its way overdue to reduce birthrates 
everywhere to at least zero population growth, but no government has the 
guts to do it except the Chinese.

In the eighties it would have been to Europe. Regan turned the U.S.
from the biggest lender in the world to the biggest borrower in eight
years. Europe stopped buying U.S. debt after Clinton left office.

Poland is borrowing again isn't she? IIRC she defaulted some time in

Bullshit. The world already produces enough food to feed nine billion.
Most of us are just too fat. We also eat far too much meat which
wastes precious grain.
