Man, I love this man Hudson....what a common sense great man...where has his like disappeared to? We're surrounded and lorded over by greedy gluttonous pathological money hoarding creeps now instead of whole hearted conscientious men like him.

When the debt can't be paid, the collateral will be taken. That was the objective all along.

Michael espouses something in this video that I have been saying ever since watching it (and have suspected for many years) - the Democratic Party is the most Right-Wing party in this country. America has no Left.

"Economic rent is unearned income, they don't earn it, it is a result of privilege, almost always inherited otherwise monopoly privilege or the right to appropriate for yourself that should be public. Land ownership, mineral resources [...], education should be public, people shouldn't have to pay, education should be a human right [...] medical care should be a human right. America, that people used to think as the most progressive capitalist country, suddenly becoming the most neo-feudal country in the world." Michael Hudson

As a good friend said, "statistics are like a yellow cab, tell 'em where you want to go and you'll be taken there."

Hard to believe Michael Hudson was 80 when this interview was conducted. Wow, imagine being this sharp when you're over 80. What a guy!

100% understood and 100% agreed with by the people courageous enough not to play the game to be deaf, knowing that no one can be more hypocrite that those who don't want to hear.
