In what way is that "not owning a house"? This wasn't just true in the US, either - there's been uninhabited land all over.

>Interest is needed because of the time value of money, and a zero interest government loan means the government will lose money,

The government can expect a profitable business to pay both the loan and tax back later. In a scenario where our country is not run by the malicious or by idiots, this is a solid way to net the government money.

Now, would I trust *our* government to implement such policies well? No, it's run by a bunch of kikes! However, other countries could implement such policies well.

>Now, is credit abused? Do institutions such as credit card companies incentivize it to be abused? Sure, but it’s like saying building an apartment with units to rent out is bad because in the 17th century Ukrainians lived on Polish lands paying rent to nobles they’d never see who used jews as middlemen to extract as much wealth as they could from them.

Wow, it sounds exactly like our current situation, except the jews are not *just* the middlemen here.
