Not only is this a conservative estimate of the true extent of debt
slavery, the real miracle is that all that money lent out by the banks
in the first place is TOTALLY imaginary!!! Known as fractional reserve
lending, what it means in practice is that banks create virtual money
by typing a number in a computer, then lend it to you for REAL returns
i.e. your time, work and life.

Beats land ownership as a means of oppression hands down, since you
can't create imaginary land to rent out.
