      XPost: alt.politics.usa.congress, alt.atheism, talk.politics.misc       XPost: alt.politics.usa.democrats, alt.politics.usa.republicans       From: Intelligent@savetheworldmsn.com              or the economy will implode...              1. Congress needs to start with the Banks, and make them not accept payments on       debt nor mortgages, nor credit cards, nor charge any interest, nor pay any       interest.              2. Congress needs to make Landlords not accept payments of rent, nor       accumulate rent.              3. Congress needs to make Bondholders not accept payments on Bonds, nor       accumulate       interest, but the Bond Terms will be lengthened.              People who work during this time will make extra money. Everyone else will       live       rent and interest free.                     So, what if the above is followed, and you need a loan? Will banks lend on       credit       cards? I for one, need to go into a debt a couple hundred a month to make ends       meet, at the moment. Will you currently be able to buy a house or car? Will       businesses be able to get loans for industry, be they Amazon or Walmart,       another       Supermarket, or anyone doing business from home or on the internet? To finance       the purchases of ventilators for COVID - I'm sure if they think things through,       COVID loans could be government supported - but will stopping all debt merely       reduce the economy even farther? Just pointing this out. $1,200 is not going       to       be enough to live on. Could you get all loans at zero percent to be adjusted       when       the economy starts up again? I presume you can't rent for free, until COVID is       over. Nor will you be able to get a home mortgage then? And on Commercial or       Corporate properties? But Tom Barrack asked for a 90 day forbearance, making       me       presume this is not a problem. This is in L.A. New York is even more shut       down,       though there are other cities. This whole plan could last a year and three       months, but it might only last three months. Not being able to borrow on       credit       cards is obviously a big deal during this time, when people have expenses       others       don't know about or don't understand. Unless Congress makes them keep lending       and       extending credit with no payments, and no interest, for now. But why would       they       lend, unless the lending is insured.                     If Congress does not act, Banks will fail. Businesses will fail by the       1,000s. A       Great Depression will ensue. Instead, Congress needs to act now to save this       economy.                     All in government in any capacity should take steps to begin this plan to       influence Congress to take it. Contact your Representatives now, and send them       this message.                     The whole world economy is likewise at risk. You can't let the bondholders       foreclose on the businesses, you can't let the banks foreclose on the       homeowners       and rental properties, you can't let the landlords evict the tenants. People's       savings should not continue to be transferred to the banks to the point that       they       are bankrupt.                     4. I guess Congress can maybe stop payment on autos.                     Does anyone really think the above is not advisable? I think a Great       Depression       is likely to otherwise occur, and since people are not working, why should       they be       paying interest and rent? They shouldn't. So why are they. There will be no       dividends. There are no revenues.              Why would you get interest then. The point isn't to transfer the companies       equity       to the bondholders while the economy is on pause for the moment.                     THE POINT ISN'T TO TRANSFER THE COMPANIES' EQUITY TO THE BONDHOLDERS WHILE THE       ECONOMY IS ON PAUSE FOR THE MOMENT!       - Which is what is about to happen if you don't stop all debt!                     And what happens next after a great depression? World War III! Poverty leads       to       war. Just a heads up, for the wise.               AVERT IT TODAY. And stand up and advise all the nations of the world.        For       instance France.                     https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/              You can sort by "Total Cases per 1M population," and see which nations are       most at       risk by that: (as of 4/8/2020), USA is 1288. In order, Spain 3170, Italy,       Belgium, France, Austria, Germany, & Portugal are worse than USA 1288, and       Ireland, Netherlands, Norway and Israel 1086 are right behind USA. UK is 895,       Iran 769. These nations are most at risk, and ought to consider stopping all       debt       and interest payments while their economies are on pause, but insuring new       lending!              We don't need a worldwide depression!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
