No they want others, who didn't cause the debt and will be the ones to pay it back, to take all the pain.

The economics understanding of some is astounding. Ron has just discovered that money isn't real.

Since people started printing and minting coins it hasn't been real. Look on a Bank Note "I promise to pay the bearer."

Yes Ron it's an illusion and been one for 1,000s of years. But it's what you pay your bills with.
