| | 490 million out of 75 billion?
I wonder if, in the end, the folks carrying out this program just can't find it in themselves to actually institutionalize the concept of 'paying back a loan is now an optional event, the tribe will cover it for you.'
Perhaps somewhere down deep in their brainstorm, they understand what institutionalizing that concept would do to our economies. And so, this program is in fact what it was always meant to be: pure gesture politics, symbolism without substance. Because with 75 billion of gesture, and only 490 million of substance, that is exactly what it is: PR.
Thank god, so far.
