    I dont understand why banks can borrow money from the government but citizens cant. Why do I need to go through a middleman for something like this.

    ((I know the answer is capitalism))

      You can borrow from the government, it’s just only for school and they won’t let you out of it in bankruptcy

      The average rate for you and I has been above it for a few weeks.

      The rate that the media and the government and Epstein class billionaires care about just went above.

      You and I can’t see that number, but it’s there when they tell us it’s there.
