In ancient times, the Greeks faced a similar situation to us in America today: a lending & mortgage crisis.

finance is far too complicated for me to absorb in a few short months, but one thing i did think of, that i think is fair for everyone involved, overall, is to do what Solon – the great Greek statesman & poet – did when he faced the same sort of situation we do now: cancel the debts & even (for our situation) reverse millions of wrongful foreclosures waged against us, The Working Class. this, then, is fairer, given that currently millions have lost their homes due to underhanded lending, & this would change to only a small percent of rightful foreclosures being reversed – their luck just panning out, & banks taking a small hit, in this broad stroke.

we could even fine tune the chosen freed people so that it is more accurate, & is therefore overall fairer.

that the wrongfulness of this move is less than the wrongfulness of the current situation, serves as a sort of ‘political proof’ that we should do it, i wonder; & that margin of error in this move would be wore by The Big Money institutions, who created this situation & then extricated themselves from it, with The Bailout, while The Common Man would win a small war, who shouldered the burden of the situation even tho they did not transgress anyone or anything; therefore the ‘error of motion’ – the margin of error necessary in a large-scale reform – would be shouldered by the guilty, & serve as a fine fine for their transgressions against The Middle-Class.

something to consider.
