GERMANY THINKS THAT EURO IS DEUTCH-MARK opinion article posted in EL PAIS, link below. Translation from EL PAIS TRADUCTOR provided elpais.com/elpais/2013/02/12/opinion/1360692035_432534.htmlThe last Summit European Union of Latin American and Caribbean (CELAC), held in Santiago de Chile on 26 and 27 January, has left some gestures and statements meaningful reflection. First of all, the transformation experienced by this type of meetings, since the first Summit held in Rio de Janeiro in 1999, until the current has been patent. In little more than one dozen years, the change has been dramatic. From the condescension and paternalism that attending European leaders this type of conferences at its inception, it has reached a situation where the alleged children seem to have grown suddenly and even dare to expose and defend collectively their views with clarity and the Insolence of that only young people seem to have. Democracies and economies, without doubt, loaded even with defects and that they have a long way to go, but already with the weight and thrust enough so the sudacas, tell the nordacas what they think. And it seems that what they think (perhaps with the exception of Chile), is that the Europeans, led by Germany, are going astray, not only to American interests, but also for our. But how dare they? You may have to do with the fact that they are not the only ones who think that, by way of austerity to wishful thinking, not exit this maze. Since instances as little suspicious as the IMF, the World Bank or the own United States Government, the same message is released, and even players featured until recently of the execution of these policies, as the now ex-President of the Eurogroup, Juncker, confess that the European Union has left hand on this issue. By the way, it wouldn't bad personalities with this level of responsibility dared to say publicly what they think while they are in Office, rather than when they leave.From a more domestic point of view, two interventions drew attention above others; I refer to those of Angela Merkel and Mariano Rajoy. The Chancellor expressed concern by levels of youth unemployment in countries such as Greece or Spain and encouraged to take measures in this regard. But, it was not an updated version of the fall of San Pablo's horse. What worried her was not the human drama that enclose the unemployment figures, but the possibility that all this could end up affecting the political stability of our countries. It forgot to make reference to the unemployed, fathers and mothers of families, or those who because of his advanced age see how the possibility to find a job moves each day more, no doubt because it does not consider them a threat of the same caliber. Is there any clearer form of perversion of politics?Indeed, according to the Observatory elaborates the MyWord company to cadena SER, 66% of the unemployed trusts less democracy than before the crisis. But certainly any good person, should not be that the data study that most moved her, but, to give just a few examples, others as that half of the people who have no work (almost three million according to the EPA) have fallen into depression, or that a quarter of them (a million and a half) have been forced to leave his residence. This should it be enough to move to a deep reflection to those who carry the economic reins of Europe. On the contrary, it is incomprehensible and unacceptable that not even seem willing to acknowledge the slightest relation cause-effect among policies that are imposed and the economic and social situation that we suffer.Rajoy has understood that not always the docility has the greatest benefits as regards the intervention of Rajoy, which requested that the policies of adjustment in countries like Spain would be accompanied by other more expansionary in countries like Germany, has been interpreted as confirmation of a turn in his address about austerity, already expressed for the first time in mid-January, in the interview given to the British daily Financial Times, calling the own Germany and other creditor countries "stimulate growth". If so, welcome; It would be the moment that our President received, without reservation, all domestic political support needed to maintain and advance in this new position. Among the reasons for this change of address, find the following: first, the force of reality itself. A figure of unemployment record, over 26% of the population at age six million unemployed, with a fall greater than 1.3% of GDP, and a stunted reduction of the public deficit, which will only be reduced from 8.96% in 2011 figures despite so much sacrifice, in the best cases, productive environment to 7% by the end of 2012, and that without taking into account the high effect of subsidies to banking. It is also disappointing treatment of our country is receiving from European authorities in recent months. As a sign it is recalled the final agreement on the banking union, which ruled out compute as direct aid to our financial sector rescue Government we sold in its day as a simple "credit to banks in excellent condition", so that rescue will continue weighing on our figures of deficit and debt, while will not happen the same with other countries that may need it in future. Not to mention of the don´t-see-u policy when it comes to fill the positions of greater responsibility and influence within the Union, which led to the abstention of the Minister's black cherry in the election of the President of the Eurogroup, and which does not correspond to the actual weight of our country, the fifth in population and gross domestic product.Finally, Rajoy has due make that docility is not always what brings greater revenues. When most analysts because that had to be the second ransom, it turns out that a solution to the Galician, which is requested or is left to ask, seems to not give so badly this time. In my opinion, it has done well to not ask without first obtaining assurances with respect to the maintenance of our risk premium, and, also, not renouncing it, as this keeps a certain distance to the greedy financial speculators.In any case, with an approach like that said Rajoy at the Summit, was to be expected that Angela Merkel could send us anywhere, and we can be happy with that just send us to export to Latin America, as if it were so easy with a euro as overvalued as the current one, whose value keeps thinking more in the interests of those who have the Pan by the handle than in the countries that set the they make up. It gives the feeling that Germany thinks that the euro is the framework, which changed name, and allowed to join us, instead of accepting that together we have created a new currency whose evolution must not favour the interests of any country in particular, but of all in general.Juan Carlos Rodríguez Ibarra was President of the Junta de Extremadura.

From EL PAIS: (and don´t miss the pic of ´Gerardieu´ trough link below text) "The adventures of Cyrano of Mordovia. Street in the neighborhood of Lenin, in the boring Saransk, democracy has a new neighbor: Gerard Depardieu. Russian people attend, between shame and unbelieving, the landing of their new comrade. By RODRIGO FERNANDEZ. Moscow 28 FEB 2013 - 07: 58 pm CET" "When Gerard Depardieu said he wanted to be a citizen of Russia, many people here considered it a joke. On January 3, when President Vladímir Putin granted him citizenship, in a completely serious act, the matter garnered headlines of the type "joke becomes reality". And in recent weeks the joke has only lengthened. Not only Depardieu has returned to visit the capital of Mordovia, Saransk, a Republic of the Russian Federation in the Volga region where officially registered as a resident, but has gone to Chechnya and danced with Ramzán Kadírov, the chieftain of this Caucasus Republic.For many Russians, the shame is not only little art which exhibited Depardieu trying to imitate the steps of the famous dance lezginka in Chechnya, but the fact that they combine with Kadyrov, a character when less controversial, both because of the way as governed his fiefdom by its methods of struggle against separatists.Anna Politkóvskaya considered him a criminal and dreamed of seeing a man who has been accused by human rights advocates of torture in person someday in the dock. In honor of Justice can be said that the French actor is not the only one: have not you baulk at the invitations of Kadyrov - accompanied often juicy rewards - Jean-Claude Van Damme, Hilary Swank, nor the English violinist Vanessa Mae. Undisclosed Depardieu receiving any prize money, but in-kind Yes: Kadyrov gave him a five-bedroom apartment and granted him the title of honorary citizen of Chechenia.Depardieu said to be delighted with Russia, with both their land and their rulers.Truth is also that Kadyrov has been a blessing for the Kremlin to implement the plan of chechenization of the conflict, devised in Moscow masterfully and that, as its name indicates, it consisted of making the same Chechens who pacificaran their Republic. I.e. that instead, that Russians kill the evil Chechen (separatist), were good (the pro-Kremlin) Chechens who dirty hands.Depardieu says that he is delighted with Russia, with both their land and their rulers. It is not surprising, then, that praise Putin and try to lend a hand, criticizing his enemies... like the girl thingy Riot. The reason for its abandonment of France and the adoption of Russian citizenship was, according to some commentators, annoy the French President François Hollande and make you pay for wanting to impose taxes of 75% on their profits. To obtain fiscal residence in Russia, Depardieu would pay a tax of 13%, regardless of how much you earn. But in order to enjoy this fee should, according to the law, which reside in Russia at least six months of the year. Which is, at the very least, doubtful to happen.Depardieu has been said to not reside in Moscow - too much hustle and bustle and traffic jams - and that, as a farmer who feels, prefers the calm of the province. Why he has registered as a resident of Saransk after receiving a Russian passport. In that city of the Volga, from little more than 300,000 inhabitants, the residence of Depardieu is number 1 of the road of democracy, parallel to that of the proletariat and the Bolshevik, and perpendicular to the Communist and Soviet. All in the District of Lenin would Depardieu living in Saransk of truth? Unlikely. Too boring, is the most common response from the Russians. But some people think that all this show isn't bad for Mordovia: perhaps abroad begin to associate this Republic with the French actor and not the camps of detention that gained fame in the Stalinist era. Prisons which, by the way, are still abundant there. One of them is serving sentence one of the girl thingy Riot, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova.pero the Kremlin trusts that Depardieu plays a positive role not only for Mordovia, but also for Russia in general. As the Minister of culture, Vladímir Medinski, said "it is very important that a great actor as Depardieu will help popularize Russian culture". And the same Depardieu looks, he said at the legendary Moscow cinema illusion, as "an Ambassador of the new Russia, often unrecognized, but you wake up, and that your President Vladímir Putin, is put at the height of what Russian man".Praise from Depardieu to Russian politicians do not have been limited to Putin and Kadyrov. He has also praised historical characters such as Iván the Terrible. Apparently, you like the controversial and contradictory personalities. It has been interpreted to Grigori Rasputin, the monk who exerted a great influence - harmful according to many - about the last Russian Tsar, Nicolás II, and his wife. And it plans to embody Emilián Pugachov, Cossack leader who rose against tsarism, in an adaptation of the work of Alexandr Pushkin the daughter of the captain. He also says that he would like to act in a Telefilm on one of the masterful Russian classics, hopefully in one of its author "preferred", Fyodor Dostoievski.Por if this is little, Depardieu want also to shoot a feature film in the Caucasus: "Show the world that it is possible to make a great movie here, in Chechnya," told a Russian television. It did not provide details. "We will come back here," promised, "this is just the beginning" elpais.com/elpais/2013/02/28/gente/1362077895_577143.html

This photo that I rescue never ceases to amaze me. Begin by counting how many people are in the same, and how conveniently grouped they are. The bottle in the corner. The most traditional signs of Madrid downtown Embajadores where I live. Most of them Written in some Chinese characters of unknown nature to me. The scooter parked right next to a filthy corner, where the bottle is. The graffity on a model niche kept as a revered laic Virgin of some kind. And the final signature of the whole scenery, a resounding warning message that reads: FUTURE IS A LIE. karloxxxx.blogspot.com.es/2013/03/el-futuro-es-mentira-ii2009.htmlflic.kr/p/e3KGMa

From the news article linked: 100.000euros in Spain is 100% guaranteed money by State and european regulations applied, that´s so for each tax-payer bank deposit and for each Bank (so one person could have one million guaranteed euros if splitted that amount into 10 different banks. Interesting Russia is helping... for this could be a tipping point since this bailout share for families and people is being applied for the first time in Eurozone. So door is open now. Just give Germany Banks enough time to disminish their exposition to bailout and if there are more to come that could mean creation of a temporary splitted currency in the Eurozone: Euro-A for Germany, Austria, Finland, Netherlands... Euro-B for Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy... But Italy first and France next could be the clue for the uncertain future of Euro.

From EL PAIS Cyprus needs inmediately 20 billions euros."Remove or tax on the deposits of Cyprus is an own mindless outrage", summarizes one of the previous Government of Zapatero's principal economic advisers. The Cypriot crisis has upended the euro. A country with one population slightly larger than the Valencia and with an economy that is 0.2% of the GDP of the eurozone has unearthed the fear, the much-feared contagion effect, just when it seemed that there was an option of which things returned to some normalcy.Russia yesterday certified that refuses to lend a hand to Nicosia and the euro partners discussed at the close of this edition the B plan of the Government of Nikos Anastasiades, which at the moment does not convince almost anyone. The talks are blocked and the ultimatum of the ECB leaves time until Monday. Everything is in the air, even the worst imaginable options. Although it is normal that the waters go - relatively - returning on track if the Eurobank can encapsulate the problems on the island and prevent crossing towards European Grecia.Fuentes and of the Nicosia Government explained that it is likely that there is an agreement over the weekend to limit the damage inventory. Finally, win options the possibility of letting out the punishment to insured deposits, and to pay part of the Bill to the creditors of the big banks, which will be heavily restructured. But the blight caused by uncertainty in the last week is sensational: according to European sources, Brussels studies to raise the total amount of the rescue around 20,000 million. And it calls for imposing indefinitely capital controls to prevent an escape of money.A Greek Bank will absorb the subsidiaries Cypriots in the Countryel Eurogroup approved last Saturday a ransom of 10 billion, to which Cyprus had to contribute 5.8 billion more from deposits and other 1.4 billion with take away the worst quality private debt; 17 billion in total. That figure has been old: Brussels is demanding his part to Nicosia, but may have to scratch something more Pocket euro partners. "Every day passing and uncertainty to persist will assume a higher figure", according to EU sources. It takes more money and a credible Firewall: despite capital controls, the ECB is going to be forced to intervene once the rescue sign to turn off any contagion with Greece as a scapegoat. "If capital flight began on the continent and to set capital controls in Greece, the worst-case scenario should likely to become a reality," according to the same sources.All are red lines in Cyprus. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, considered that Nicosia must urgently introduce the alternative rescue plan, and that in any case it may include the participation of national pension funds. The Cypriot Government had prepared a plan B with three fundamental legs. One: Bill-the division of its major financial institutions into a good Bank and a bad Bank, with deposits of more than 100,000 euros in the good, and the recapitalisation of banks to lower other 2,300 million. Two: the creation of a solidarity fund with assets of the State, the Church, the pension funds, the reserves of gold and the rights to the gas, which could be around 2.5 billion. And three: 1 billion more with a lien on the deposits, but only in the uninsured, more than 100,000 euro accounts. Or to Brussels convinced neither the European partners several aspects of that plan. The European capital confirmed an urgent meeting of the Eurogroup on Sunday.The tax on big deposits, the Cyprus crisis Nailer strives to return again and again to the starting square. After the Parliament rejected the removes savings imposed by Europe, Cypriot leaders have sought these days alternative routes to find the 5.8 billion they desperately need. But the reality is stubborn and third avenues wanted - aid from Moscow or the aforementioned solidarity fund - have proved useless. Precisely yesterday, Parliament approved that Fund and capital controls that demanded the EU. But the Cypriot Government even worked to define the tax on deposits, always with the condition respect to depositors with less than 100,000 euros, confirmed to this newspaper the Minister of finance, Mijailis Sarris.Gravando only large deposits with a 10% accounts cuadranSigue not gaining weight the option that the President of the country, Nikos Anastasiadisyou need to turn back again. Anastasiadis was opposed as a cat tummy up last week in Brussels to raise over 10% on large fortunes removes. Why in the negotiation with the Eurogroup was reached that magic number of 9.99%. But despite all the imagination of the authorities of the island, accounts don't add up and we need to raise the rate if the small savers pay nothing. A source quoted by the newspaper Cyprus Mail points out that the final percentage of assessment for non-insured deposits will finally exceed 10%. "A tax on those who have more than 100,000 euros is clearly on the table", he explained the Minister Sarris.A lack of a life - "a Messiah", called yesterday for a government source Cyprian-, Greece yesterday threw a hand to the island. Piraeus Bank will absorb the Cypriot in Greece banks, subsidiaries announced heleno, the financial stability fund with the aim of "safeguarding deposits and the stability of the Greek banking system and that there is a Greek contribution to attempts of Cyprus out of the crisis," according to a statement by the Cypriot Executive. The Remove on Greek public debt precipitated the beginning of the end of Cyprus, its financial system hypertrophied to facilities for Russian money laundering. The first muleta Nicosia reached Athens. There are two fundamental: the agree with the Eurogroup in Brussels and, above all, the manguerazos of the ECB from Frankfurt when the time comes.

My father on Flickr"So Carlos could see that his father once was young too, lots of kisses and hug" wrote my father sometime back in the late 80´s on this copy of an old portrait photo taken during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). Photo most probable date between 1937-38. An 18 years old Chemistry student found himself suddenly, within a couple of years, fighting for the Republican Government as part of the Republican Air Forces against Franco. His plane was shot down, its pilot died, and he was handed over to the German Condor Legion in the first instance, and - obviously - survived the war and harsh prisons under Franco, eluding the death penalty - by pure luck - and also thanks to the struggle and tenacity of her sister, parents and family. An exemplary generation. They believed. The last best ones already are leaving us or left us already. Honor to their Memory. --- No one should take it for granted that knows what is coming that might change your entire life, as History teach us. Attachments:

Something personal I want to share with you: Approaching 22th aniversary of my father´s dead, I would like to share with you this short war-biography which shows us how inconvenient and unexpected major events beyond our control can change our lifes. That was a generation of brave young believers. Either side of the trench. So my father taught me: honestly and tolerance, regardless his suffering and broken youth, he got none resentment whatsoever. What a history for a young kid! One of so many... from any war. Let´s never forget them. Rafael Ballester Linares He was born on 24-11-1916 in Puente de Vallecas (Madrid). He began University studies at the Faculty of chemistry of Madrid. The military revolt surprises him when studying the second course of that career. Joined to the artillery information service (S.I.A.). Locating the batteries enemy using a system based on the listener from different microphones of the firing of the artillery pieces of the enemy. In November of the 36 participates in the defense of Madrid with the cannons recently arrived from the USSR. After a few quick lessons of artillery takes charge of a battery of three guns of caliber 114 shells, 3 mm. Located in the Monte del Pardo. He was also in another battery located beside the Astronomical Observatory near the Glorieta de Atocha. After passing the examination of official gunner on the same front of Madrid is destined to the army's maneuvers of the Center covering with your battery the included front between the Cuesta de la Reina in Aranjuez and Arganda in around the front of the Jarama and the operations of the farm. With Enrique Líster rehearsed the shot from Russian trucks "3HC" to accompany the infantry in their attacks in what had been the first autotransportada artillery units, as we now know them. It was not possible for not being prepared trucks to withstand the recoil of 11.43 cm parts.In the summer of the 37 he is destined as Chief of the artillery of the 16th Division in the third body of army against the Pingarrón mount (front of the Jarama) Agrupación. Installing its headquarters in Casasola del Monte and sending four batteries, (twelve barrels) with twenty years of age.Calling for the transfer to aviation one of her Gunners weapon, called Plácido Pazos Garcia, add your own request of his subordinate. Make the airplane observer course in Los Alcazares. Obtaining the first position of the promotion in navigation and the second in bombing. With the rank of Lieutenant, which had as gunner Mendiluce Captain joins La Cenia (Tarragona) the second squadron of the 24th group of TU - SB - 2 "Katiuska" instructed by Leocadio Mendiola Manda his squad. From Los Llanos (Albacete) participated in the bombing of the station of Valladolid. Bombing of Cordoba... Ect. The second Squadron dissolves and becomes squadron of retraining. It is intended for the third and the fourth of Katiuskas subsequently. It does numerous services to Palma de Mallorca by leveraging higher ceiling of the SB-2 on numerous Fiat Italians who went out to pursue them. Flew numerous times with the Chief of Squadron. Making two to three departures daily by the area of Lleida and Aragon, having pilot Jaime Mata Romeu and very often the gunner Luis Ángel Martínez Cortés. Between the two and the rest of the squad timing became so perfect that got, maneuvering with the patrol or the entire Squadron, with planes close together, as if it were a single plane. The group left and right moving to mislead the enemy anti-aircraft and white vertically by placing a few seconds before launching bombs. He participated in the bombing of the "Balearic Islands" cruise. Still review that this service pumps 100 kg. little appropriate for the bombardment of large ships were used, as these pumps that were already loaded on aircraft when it received notice that the "Balearic Islands" had been played. Flying over the area of the SB-2, they observed a vessel that confused with the "Balearic Islands", and in the midst of an intense flak in charge of other warships trying to tow it failed to verify, then through the photos taken, were not only Italian vessels that shot but also English. Producing pumps some casualties among the crew of the same. The ship in question, was its twin, the Cruiser "Canary", which helped to rescue the survivors of the "Balearic", already sunk work. Not getting any impact on this target. On the next pass already with bombs of 500 Kg. "Canarias" he was not in the area. Other service against the Cruiser "Canary" in its base of Ceuta did not work for very little. The D.C.A. defenses were surprised by entering the engine is almost idle. The pictures gave a 500 Kg bomb impact. Beside the ship, but with the breakwater of means.Bombing of December 16, 1938 on December 16, 1938 La Cenia is knocked down in a service on the La Cenia aereodromo, then in the hands of the "Condor Legion". In this service, known previously for information services enemies, two aircraft are shot down and dying both crews except it and the observer for the Ricardo Aresté else getting jump on parachute.Ricardo Aresté falls on own territory after being escorted by a fighter German ME-109 enemy who greets him with the arm while Ballester falls into the hands of the Germans. Transferred to Zaragoza is treated as a companion by the members of the squadron of García Morato. Not being redeemed, is judged at the end of the war sentenced to twenty years and a day, on request of death; Released from prison on parole in 1944. He died on 20 April 1991.

By its interest I herewith include EL PAIS TRADUCTOR translation of Juan Torres López article. Original link: juantorreslopez.com/The world war of the Debt March 22 of 2013.Published in Público.es On 18th this month, the international payments Bank (BIP) updated a few historical series about forty countries private debt. Data refer to the non-financial private sector including companies, households and non-profit institutions and are taken from different years of game depending on the case and after having tried to homogenize the different forms in which the debts have been generated (methodology and data for all countries in Excel format can be in BIP(, Long series on credit to private non-financial sectors). Surprisingly, these data have been very unnoticed in the media while they are simply chilling and, at least from my point of view, leading to two major conclusions. The first, the emphasis which is usually put on the danger posed by the debt (without rejecting it) is a smokescreen to hide main cancer that plagues the capitalist economy, and that is private debt. And second, that this cancer is so great making completely unsustainable to the system because it will not be able nor repay it or make it go away gracefully.Results like these can be drawn from the data provided by the International Bank of payments for different countries:-the private United States debt (whose GDP is around 16 trillion dollars) era of 24.98 trillion (million million) to September 30, 2012. According to the data of the BIP, this volume of debt is twice that had just nine years-computed the eurozone countries debt was 15,70 trillion euros (compared to a GDP of 8.7 billion) on the same date, and it has also doubled in the past nine years. The United Kingdom, which has a private debt total of 3.1 billion pounds (1.4 billion GDP), only has needed seven years to double it.On the other hand, the data show that the evolution of the debt in the vast majority of countries presents some common features:-private debt in relation to GDP has increased dramatically in most countries, represent around 50% of GDP in the years 60 or 70 of the last century to 300% or more today-although the percentage that represents the credit provided by banks on the total has decreased much over the last few years is still having a large presence along that provide other types of non-bank financial institutions.-Finally, the beep data indicate that credit to households, which was traditionally much lower that the companies, which receive greatly increases in recent years, which clearly reflects the loss continued purchasing that makes recourse to credit power is increasingly necessary in larger number of families in almost all countries.But undoubtedly what deserves special mention is the magnitude of the debt that is collecting it is materially priceless. So; There is no possibility of the system to absorb it in the amount so immense that it has reached. There cannot be enough revenue to pay for it without it collapses the capitalist system.Surely, many people will think that it has no sense that banks and financial institutions in general continue generating constantly such as large volumes of debt, which as we have seen doubled every 7 or 9 years, knowing that they will not charge ever. But it does and is very important to know it.The secret is (as Vicenç Navarro and I have explained in our book the years of the world. Weapons of financial terrorism, Espasa 2012) in banks to create debt from scratch, simply making mere accounting entries. Therefore, costs them nothing to generate it. And, however, this debt is associated with the interests (i.e. a compensation we pay banks for giving us money created from nothing), so that banks always have one sufficient return to impressive benefits and become the owners of the world without the need to return all of the debt they have created. Just you issue it without stopping.Thanks to the interest, the debt is supplied: it takes increasingly more debt to pay the previous debt. In fact, immense most of the huge debt that record data of the beep (as everywhere) is debt that has been necessary to subscribe to deal with prior debt which have generated interests which have had to pay for a debt generated by the interest on previous debts... and so on, forming thus the spiral that condemns the vast majority of humanity to the impoverishment.In ancient times the debts were one of the origins of slavery. Today we believe that already abolished but it is a lie because the debt is becoming a singular kind of slaves, slaves de facto, hundreds of millions of individuals and families throughout the world. Debt takes away freedom and condemns them for lifetime, us ata and makes societies in real prisons.The debt is the form of the new world war that banking without having it declared against the vast majority of mankind.We must put an end to that. Abolish the slavery of debt and we know what to do to this: primarily, ending the irrational and immoral privilege that allows banks to create money out of nothing whenever they give a credit. That's what leads them, in their constant quest for maximum benefit, push thousand modes for the mode of production and the way we consume depends on artificially and total credit, that is your business.

This opinion article emphasizes what is skipped or hidden in public debate on Debt: Private Debt, and real nature of ´money´ and the paradigma of constant Growth which sustains and drives the system by its own to... what? It´s been proof that oversized private debt -bubbles- (companies and families debt) eventually becomes total or partially Public Governments Debt for all tax-payers to be paid. Either a bank is too big to fail; or a car company or... then is ok to pour incredible amounts of brand new Debt on them. But families and most companies remain unprotected and pays for other´s fault, untouhable Bank system mainly. I think there could be a non-partisan debate on this? Possible?
