There is good debt and bad debt. When the government creates a deficit. It can be spent in the good for the economy. Such as the infrastructure bill being bandied with now. Or for social good as is Social Security, Medicare, child care, education. Things that give value to a society and a working class that actually creates things and can thrive better so with a low cost of living.

But this bail out of the financial sector for every bubble they create that bursts from speculation and greed is an abomination on society. They create nothing but, as the classical economist Adam Smith warned of, "income in their sleep". Which feathers the portfolios of the elite rich.

The world is moving away from the dollar just because of our financialized diplomacy in conjunction with the World Bank & the International Monetary Fund creating austerity. The move now is towards a universal currency to use in trade deficits and exchanges. Which is what Keynes had proposed originally at the Bretton Woods conference. America had the upper hand and wanted to have all the advantage of a dominant dollar exchange. And could with Europe, Asia and Crimea in ruins from WW2. We had our time, and we've squandered it with our financialization of our economy. China has emerged with a mixed economy we used to have in our golden era. Their banking is not allowed speculation in their charter. They have followed the west's economic playbook for success and so far avoided the pitfall of allowing the excesses of the financial class from overtaking their government.
