Thanks for the article, I think we can all agree that whatever bullshit comes out of any bankers mouth is definitely not in the publics best interest, this is a classic case of financial institutions terrified of losing their grip and power over society, we'll be seeing alot of dire warnings coming up from "experts" in the near future, forecasting the financial apocalypse and promising safety if we just stick to the status quo, the amazing FIAT monetary system which they have mastered while complicating it enough for the average joe to have no clue how any of it works.

Why does it take me a lifetime of hard labour to buy a house, where do all these charges come from? where is my tax going? who is printing this stuff? what the hell are government bonds and how is it possible for a country to be in more than $30 trillion in debt and still afford to go to war in the middle east?

Pragmatically if I were to be in $30 trillion debt I'd probably not be able to loan a tena from bank let alone send thousands of men to "install democracy" by force in foreign countries. but maybe I need more friends like Jens Wiedmann, maybe he can loan me a tena!
