Credit cards actually pay your bills and then you pay them back with interest. They don't magic money from anywhere. It's a series of small loans taken from a financial institution.

I had like 60k in debt, mostly a car and student loans but like 15k was on credit cards, and paid it off in three years by cutting expenses. Can I be part of the victim blaming club now???

Well, not exact same

According to a blowhard in the republican primary thread, less than 5%. 80,000 a year jobs are basically growing on trees. I don't think they'd lie to me in that thread.

Well you also can't afford that by say, working in a store or as a janitor or any other job that meets your puritan standards (though you'd do better since you'd be making at least Cali minimum wage which is 10)

But the median income in the us is 50k.

Loans create money. I deposit 100k in my bank account. Talia Jane takes out a 90k loan for the land needed to start her free range meme ranch and pays it to some Jew, who then deposits it in his bank. Then the Jew's bank loans Talia 80 grand so that she can give some other Jew 80 grand for 6 months deposit on her San Francisco mansion.

So now I've got 100 grand, Jew #1 has 90 grand, and Jew #2 has 80 grand, and the other 170k was created entirely based on my 100k deposit.

Etc, etc, etc.

Banks don't print/create money. Loans generate interest which is paid by the people taking the loans. The bank is making money off the interest it takes from people paying back their loans and gives interest to people that leave money with them so they can cover the loans they make.

We can go simpler.

Imagine a world with only $10 and a chipotle. Bob lends Jane ten bucks to buy some chipotle. Bob still has 10 bucks in the form of an asset. Jane buys the chipotle and now has the same amount of money she started with ($0) and a good worth ten bucks, the chipotle owner now has ten bucks. In this world there is now $20. By lending Jane money, Bob created more money.

If Bob and the chipotle owner wanted to, Bob could write down "10bux fr. Jane" on a piece of paper and, knowing that Jane is good for it somehow, the chipotle owner could also accept this note as money, now owning all the money in the world, even though this would cause problems later if he ever decided to cash in his note. Since he could just trade the note and cash to the chipotle supplier for more ingredients (because Jane is good for it), the financial system is fine though.

*Household* income is 50k. Nowadays that often means two people working full time. That happened because wages didn't keep up with productivity and so women were forced to enter the workforce to keep households above poverty levels.

Correct. The Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air and credits bank registers to keep them from failing. I suspect the Ubermensch in here insisting a youth be punished for their mistakes have a much quieter voice on punishing banks for their mistakes even though the importance of punishing the latter is vastly more important to long term economic survival.

you're mistaken and part of your mistake is thinking that "creating" money is the same as "printing" it.

another way of putting it is that you've accepted the way that credit is justified in economics textbooks as opposed to what banks actually do to make it look that way
