If there is too much money the claim is devalued.<BR/><BR/>Banks have claims to the wealth of a country and they lend you those claims and if you are able then you can then earn for yourself the right to have claims to the countries wealth.<BR/><BR/>A bank loan is the banks claims to the wealth of the country that they allow you to use and profit from to your advantage if you are able to profit from them. They are not your claims. If you spend those claims to the wealth of the country then they become somebody elses claims (even when bank deposits) the banks still wants its own claims back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061889834421679008.post-11735011291651213112008-08-18T17:20:00.000+01:002008-08-18T17:20:00.000+01:00What a court would enforce isn't relevent to the f...What a court would enforce isn't relevent to the facts.

The very first mention of bear is in the title where Teddy bear is mentioned but that gives no meaning to the reader. The next use of bear suggests some part of the post is missing prior to this mention.<BR/><BR/>You need to reword the post to make it clear where the bear came from so that your meaning about the bear later in the article makes sense to us.<BR/><BR/>You might know what you mean but it is not clear to this reader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061889834421679008.post-11116112340401842982008-08-13T02:09:00.000+01:002008-08-13T02:09:00.000+01:00You cannot contract to do the impossible.
