So, why do I go on about it?

Why do I carry on about this?  Because the future is in our hands TODAY.  We are where we are in the world today because our ancestor’s created a luxurious lifestyle at our expense!  Don’t like this statement?  Well, who enjoyed the benefits of all the debt we have in the world?  And who is paying for it and will pay for it in future?  We and our children.

Was the problem solved by printing more money?  No!  As the Chinese told the USA “You did not solve the problem, you only lengthened the fuse.”  Or, in my words, you did just enough so your children will inherit the problem.

And whether you believe it or not, what governments across the globe are doing is affecting you right where you live!

And we need to start talking about the real solution that will address the real cause, and not only the symptoms!  Bernard Lietaer, one of my heroes, proposes “a complementary currency.’   And it makes sense.  I love working on my own cars, I hate gardening. My neighbour is exactly the opposite.  So while I service his car, he can get my garden going.   That is a very stupid, simple example.  I urge you to read the following articles and to spread the message.
