Shamubeel Eaqub: Debt binge now bigger than before the global finance crisis ...

"It is becoming increasingly clear that the way we use debt is not working.

It is more prone to help in swapping assets from each other at ever higher prices, rather than investing in long term assets that create ongoing and future benefits."

No... really.

Boomers like to moan about high interest rates in the 70s and 80s, but they forget that in the decade to 1980 wages rose by 300 per cent, and in the decade to 1990 wages rose by 112 per cent.

I enjoy a good moan but......
I bought my first decent stereo when I was 16 and it was fecking Thorn 3 in 1 and was about $700 on Lay By...when you put a deposit down and paid it off before you got it.
First car stereo was some similar rip off price, and my first car was a 20 year old VW that I had to pay off to my old Man.
I don't think Credit Cards turned up till about 1984 ish, I was declined for a home loan about that time as I did not have a " Home Loan " savings account.
It was pretty hard to run on debt then and other than a house and a car there was bugger all to buy anyway.

Yep. Other people's money.

Of which there was a distinct shortage in the times Voly's talking about.

The point being it's difficult to bitch and moan about how tragically hard times are when so many people have so much money that they can't give it away at almost any price.

What money?

What energy?

If you bought Zimbabwian currency at any time then you're one of the few idiots that did. Which explains a lot.

And by all means blame Muldoon, but it's mostly just you that does. Blaming people for shit you don't understand is what you do, and your lack of understanding leaves limitless opportunity for blame.
