BigJohn--you might want to check out this simple little story http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHART...11thmarble.php What Palani is referring to is that the bankers never create the money that is paid to them as interest. They only 'create' the principal. The amount of money in circulation is the unrepaid principal. The money owed as debt is the unrepaid principal plus the interest, Total debt therefore exceeds the money supply by the amount of interest owed. That excess is 'unpayable debt'. It cannot shrink. It can only grow. The system therefore prescribes and predicts its own doom. The only question is when that doom will be apparent to everyone. Get a leg up and be one of the early comprehenders of this 'slippery' bit of logic. The bankers know this, and they are trying to put the collapse of the whole system off for just a little while longer. Hatha
