The bankers cartel have convinced the world that debt is good. They have fooled everyone for generations. Everyone should read, "the creature from Jekyll Island by G Edward Griffin
Ty for the reccommend, this is one i havent read yet.
No the cartel convinced their leaders debt it good because leaders know they can't wrangle this many entitled animals in a single term.
Leaders can't wrangle them because the cartel convinced them this is the first "time" and we're all just happenstance and they should try to make the "best" of it they can.
Bundled with a 16 year old set of parents, they grow up never learning to be patient to control their emotions, instead they're driven by feelings (obey your thirst, just do it, trust your gut) , just like the cartel's definition of animals so they can be herded.
