Kreditsystemet har frusit, så brukar man beskriva läget.
Men det tragi-komiska är att det hade varit ganska lätt att åtgärda det hela på ett grundligt och gediget sätt.
Om man bara kan tina upp den kreativitet och tankeförmåga som har frusit fast så vi kan ta vårt förnuft tillfånga och göra något i stil med det Brian Leslie föreslår så skulle vi kunna skratta åt det absurda system vi lät oss luras in i.

"Nearly all our present money is created by banks, by making interest-bearing loans. Politicians and economists are reluctant to admit the possibility of the government itself creating money, instead of borrowing it and paying interest on it. This, despite the fact that the government does, even now, still create some of it: the notes and coins....

The government should, itself, create and spend the money, not to prop up the banks, but on socially valuable things, such as building new schools, hospitals and public transport systems (and fixing the ones we have)....

...

So, in summery, the things that need to happen are:

1. The Government needs to remove the ability of the banks to create money.

2. There needs to be an independent, publicly accountable body set up to oversee the creation and possible removal of money from the system to ensure that there is enough but not too much money in circulation.

3. A mechanism is needed to oversee the transition from the current system."

Det verkar vara ganska uppenbart vad som behöver göras, Ellen Brown
är inne på samma linje, Sustainable Government: Banking for a "New" New Deal.

"The conventional wisdom is that we must continue down the path we are on, because the alternative means frightening, radical change. Financing a new New Deal without putting the country further into insolvency, however, would not be a radical departure from tradition but would represent a return to our roots, to the uniquely American monetary policy advocated by our venerable forebears Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln."
