I don't think we can force our politicians to see anything. Most of
those in power now are pretty corrupt -obviously there to gratify the
desires of the selfish monied interests, rather than the people. If
enough citizens tell them that they want them to battle poverty -
inevitably - eventually they will.
btw, Fighting poverty is the best way to fight terrorism.
Cancelling those debts would only help mankind. If you happened to have
90,000 million dollars in your accounts and your kid brother had
borried 20 million and had become sick and unable to pay, would it
hurt you or anyone to forgive that debt? Of course not! It would only
hurt the selfishness within, something that we must eventually destroy.
I think that is the issue.
There are competent experts who together have put together plans that
most certainly will work. All that's lacking is the sup****t of the
selfish monied interests-
