This matter of Maria taking a loan from the bank just to buy clothes for her children reminds me of the USA Federal Government taking a loan of fiat federal reserve debt notes to pay for infrastructure expenses. But, the Federal Government has gold, silver, and by constitutional law is supposed to coin money even print US Treasury notes based on those coins. Instead, the powers that were and presently be have cowered to international bankers on those bankers fake money and are now nearly $20 trillion dollars in debt.
The USA is no Belarus, but similar looking in some ways. It's time to have a house of stone and wood, not cards.
