If i drive the car and you rob the bank,4 months later when the cops figure it out,they offer me freedom if i give you up,so i' have something over you,but if i went in with you,i would be equally guilty..now if my country allows the trading firms and banks to go off shore and create illegal investment schemes and sell them for 50- 60 times thier worth,then have them collapse,and investigate and let everyone know that we fell asleep,or worse ,were in on it,the world would have us...on the other hand,if we print and get everyone else to print,then we are all in the same boat..now what do we do..well we could all default and go back to square one,pretend it was all monopoly money,have a good laugh/cry and start over.....everything would be fine except for the investors that lost and the criminal trading house and banks that created it...well we can't possibly pay anything back,and it would be foolish for the banks to pay for thier mistakes,especially if they are making the rules,why rule against yourself,and if we default we would lose face ,all our credit is built on this imaginary worth...so we create another scam....the p S uedo D olla R
