    'I see everyday #politicians repeat like parrots #economic propositions they don't even start to understand, defending a model that a central #bank admitted was wrong over twelve years ago. ... The #Greens propose actual structural change and get labelled "communist" by people who have never read a balance sheet or a #Lenin text. The heterodox approach #predicted #2008, predicted the #housing #crisis, and predicted the current private #debt trap. The orthodox models predicted none of it ...'

    'The orthodox model was declared wrong by the Bank of #England in 2014. Their paper “#Money Creation in the Modern Economy” stated plainly: #banks do not lend out deposited #reserves in a multiplier chain. Banks create #deposits when they make #loans ...'

    (NZ's Social Credit Party got a Court to agree five decades earlier.)

    'The consequences are not theoretical or academic. When you worship the wrong model, you can’t do anything else than design the wrong #policy.

You don’t see that raising rates shift #income from #borrowers to banks and does not touch the supply of housing stock. You end up believing the #household metaphor is literal — that the Crown pockets are empty — when #NZ’s #Crown debt is 44% of #GDP...'

    (The OECD average is about twice that.)

  6. #apropos "#Borrowers are currently used as "shock absorbers" for Australia's financial system where variable-rate home loans dominate the market.The #ReserveBankAustralia acknowledged that the pain from their rate rise will be felt unevenly in the community."

    oh really #rba ain't that the truth 😬 :blobsad:

  7. #Thai #government planning unit sounds alarm
    "secretary-general of #NESDC noted tt some lending applications now allow #borrowers to pay in instalments for restaurant meals or even fuel. In reality, such expenses shld be paid in full, not in instalments, he said.. govt must step in & find ways to address tis.. #Survey #data also revealed.. Between 2022 & 2024, #permanent #parttime #positions grew fr 6% to 42%, while contractual/temporary part-time #jobs rose fr 4% to 28%"

  8. The increased consumer costs from the CFPB's rollback of #regulations on #BankFees, wholesale dismissal of cases against #banks & other #lenders & the failure to disburse funds for harmed #borrowers run counter to Trump's pledges to ease the cost of living, acc/to #Student Borrower Protection Center & #Consumer Federation of America.

    Since #Trump took control of the #CFPB in Feb, calling for its elimination, admin ofcls have sought to reduce the workforce by about 90% & curtail its oversight.

  9. #US #fiscal state is everyone's issue
    "US #debt now stands at $36tril, or 124% of GDP.. #America is no longer part of the elite group of ultra-safe #borrowers: countries like Germany, Switzerland & Singapore.. In 2024, #interest payments reached $881bil, making them one of the largest components of US #federalbudget, even surpassing #spending on #defence & #Medicare..🤦‍♂️ #Trump & congressional #Republicans cld unleash widespread #financial #instability"
    🤔
    Do the perps care?

  10. 2/2
    "It undermines #financialdiscipline.. Perhaps e most contentious issue is exclusion of borrowers who consistently met their repayment obligations. Tis #debt suspension #policy is for #delinquent #borrowers.. Responsible borrowers may feel overlooked & unfairly treated.. approach not only undermines #fairness but also weakens #publicconfidence in e system.. 🇹🇭government must pair these relief measures w #financialliteracy progs & structural #reforms tt address root causes of #overindebtedness"

  11. Debt bailout warning
    "Paetongtarn #government announced a bold #policy to address #Thailand's mounting #householddebt #crisis.. audacious debt haircut can be risky & costly.. shifts part of financial burden to e #public, raising concerns abt its LT #fiscal implications.. biggest concern is #moralhazard. Being spared fr their own responsibilities, #borrowers might take on additional or #excessive #debt in future, in the hope the govmnt will help clear their debt again" 1/2

  12. is “borrowercore” an aesthetic yet, and if not, can we make it one?

  13. 2.4mil at-risk #borrowers a #bigconcern
    "National #CreditBureau reveals there r 25mil indiv borrowers in #Thailand, ~38% of e population.. ave #debt per borrower is bht540k.. Retail borrowers #atrisk carry an ave debt of bht1.12mil each.. Most r younger indivs, aged 25-35, earning lower incomes & living in rural areas.. Per PIER research, if a #moratorium is offered w/o encouraging #financial #discipline, 60% r more likely to remain long-term borrowers & 45% may #default"

  14. The #Biden admin will announce rules to block #MedicalDebt from being used to evaluate #borrowers’ fitness for #mortgages & other types of #loans.
    
…The WH has repeatedly focused on the issue of #medical #debt, saying it disproportionately harms low-income Americans & communities of color.
    
“This is going to be an enormous relief for so many people battling #bills when it comes to medical visits,” CPFB dir Rohit Chopra said….

  15. I have found a couple of versions of this online.
    Bridgnorth, Shropshire by Paul Sandby RA (1730 - 1809)
    I think this is the better version. What strikes me is the scale of the people. #Borrowers

  16. …We’re taking on housing discrimination & increasing #Black homeownership. To date, we’ve invested >$7B in historically Black #colleges & #universities to prepare students for high-growth industries. We’ve approved >$116B in #StudentLoanDebtCancellation for 3.4M #Americans so that #borrowers receive the #relief they deserve. And a new #StudentDebt repayment plan is helping Black #students & #families cut in half their total lifetime payments per dollar borrowed.
