Absolutely right, Archer. And it's not a new struggle either, this banking credit/money-creation stranglehold. "Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...first by inflation then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson.

If you think the talk of "the pitchforks" by Bryan Morton (above) is crazy, here's how it ends: a debt-bust in the bond markets (think sub-prime governments); an Int'l sovereign crisis in 2013-15, a crash in the affected currencies, Helicopter Ben doing what he does best, and an unsettled period.

For growth to continue, debts need to be restructured or liquidated, with difficult consequences.
