"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)‡
"Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." -- Thomas Jefferson
Debts have been cancelled through default and discharge in foreclosure and bankruptcy court as the US did in 1933. This contracted the money supply by 31% and resulted in 3 million Americans starving to death.
Debts were cancelled through inflation in Germany in 1923 with worse results than America.
The Third Way is for the government to cancel debts as the kings of ancient Sumer and Babylon did starting 4,100 years ago. The Jewish Bible writers called this the Jubilee when they saw it during their Babylonian captivity. The author of the Book of Jeremiah blamed their military-political defeat to the lack of a Jubilee. There is no evidence that Israel ever practiced a Jubilee. Babylonian debt cancellations worked without the nasty side effects of 1923 Germany and 1933 America.

Nothing makes sense anymore.
