Economic Stimulus - Occupy Wall Street Style

Post by doodle »

A group of campaigners linked to the Occupy Wall Street movement is buying-up distressed loans for pennies in the pound and cancelling them to "liberate debtors at random".

The Rolling Jubilee project is seeking donations to help it buy-up distressed debts, including student loans and outstanding medical bills, and then wipe the slate clean by writing them off.

What an awesome idea!
Human behavior is economic behavior. The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant.
