Only thing to do is to do debt cancellation and the government absords it... but ban those that use the service from borrowing again. Give them a clear slate, but don't let them do the same BS again.

No certainly not !

All my investments are in AUD. I'm drooling at the prospect of a return to the good old days of  32 to1.

Not too late to buy gold.

There is a gross misconception that by increasing credit by lowering interest rates you will increase consumption and therefore boost the economy.

 

Yes, it can work in the short term to bolster the CONSUMPTIVE economy.  A mirage.

 

The resultant inflation gives the spin-doctors the satisfaction of claiming a rise in GDP (which is not corrected for inflation)

 

Unless credit is channelled into greatly stimulating the PRODUCTIVE economy, all you do is kick the can down the road and end up with an even worse indebtedness.

 

Live for today and pay tomorrow!

Stupid people get into debt and we/government should bail them out ?? F no.

You pay for your own mistakes.

And now the car industry wants the goverment to help with making things easier for people to buy a car, so more debt for the people?

Put them on a black list. No official loans anymore.

Loan sharks will take care of it.

Inflation coming.

 

When I visit the shops here in Thailand, it is very obvious to me that inflation is rife for the past few years already.

But didn't Thaksin have the solution for that, by moving the debt to private companies, so they would not end up on the blacklist and be able to continue borrowing.
