How did you get the idea that having no debt is hoarded wealth? In my reality, having no debt means having no debt slaves to the 1%.

I don't really understand the question.

In the current system having no debt means others have more debt.

When money is created by a private bank (not the govt) the interest is not created.
The loan and interest is still owed to the private bank, so there is always more debt in the economy than money. ALWAYS.

So, for every individual with money and no debt they are multiple people with some money but much more debt.

I'm not sure that I'm answering your question, but it's a macro view of the debt-money system.

One last historical detail.

A reasonably simple solution to the excess debt problem existed in ancient (biblical) times. Every 7 years was a jubilee, which was unconditional forgiveness of individual debts.

The exception was business debts weren't forgiven, which makes economic sense and isn't a moral issue.

*It's crucial that a jubilee (it similar) has no strings attached.
For example: *"come in for your free Corona virus vaccination and we'll write off your debt..."

The debt-slavers cannot be trusted.

Also, they conjured the money and debt out of thin air, so in a very real sense you should owe them nothing.
This is a fact.

The easiest way (IMO) to implement a jubilee would be student loan forgiveness. It's currently approaching the level of housing debt in scale.

Many people have quit paying them already, so it's only a matter of time before something significant happens.

The economy would see a massive boost in days, or weeks.

I doubt this will occur without some catastrophic development, because recent generations have been deliberately pushed into debt bondage.

Student loan debt is an obvious example of the massive odious debt of the many, compared to the relative security of the few (1%), and inconceivable wealth of the 0.01%.

The 1% are very comfortable, but they still work indirectly for the international 0.01% (oligarchs).

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You prove my point >hen money is created by a private bank (not the govt) the interest is not created. The loan and interest is still owed to the private bank, so there is always more debt in the economy than money. ALWAYS. This idea that you HAVE to be in debt is fallacy. The Banksters want you to think that just like Pepsi wants you to believe that tap water is not as good as bottled water. It's all about getting you to give them your money.

Your statement is correct. Although it is impossible (literally) for everyone to be debt-free in the current economic/monetary structure.
