My question is this, why do we have to in to banks for loans when the government prints our currency? Banks use computer money 1s and 0s and in exchange we give them real money at high intrest rates. I cant see a 300,000 loan and be expected to pay it all off and give the bank a cool 400,000 on top 4 a touch on a pc. Customer service or legal pillage?

The AMA is unquestionably part of the problem, however I believe the commercialism of medicine is a far more significant factor in exponentially escalating costs. When its all said and done, commerce has only one goal, namely the pursuit of money to the exclusion of all else. back in the 'good old days', even the trickle of medical graduates was sufficient for the then population, then some enterprising clowns dreamed up the 'big Australia' nonsense, and subsequently others of like mind joined the system and commercialized everything not nailed down and a few things that were. The untold arrogance & avarice of the snouts ensures their game will continue until it inevitably disappears up its fundamental. As I've noted elsewhere, the question to be answered is exactly what happens to snouts when the money disappears ??
