I don't recall borrowing no money
So why should I have to, how could I, pay it back ?
[...] men who never think of lending a shilling to their next-door neighbors, for purposes of honest industry, unless upon the most ample security, and at the highest rate of interest --- stand ready, at all times, to lend money in unlimited amounts to those robbers and murderers, who call themselves governments, to be expended in shooting down those who do not submit quietly to being robbed and enslaved.
They lend their money in this manner, knowing that it is to be expended in murdering their fellow men, for simply seeking their liberty and their rights; knowing also that neither the interest nor the principal will ever be paid, except as it will be extorted under terror of the repetition of such murders as those for which the money lent is to be expended. [...]
And why are these men so ready to lend money for murdering their fellow men ? Soley for this reason, viz., that such loans are considered better investments than loans for purposes of honest industry. They pay higher rates of interest; and it is less trouble to look after them. This is the whole matter. (Lysander Spooner, No Treason)
Or donc, il est question d'annulation de la dette des pays pauvres.
Les ministres des finances des huit pays les plus riches de la planète ont enteriné l'annulation de 100% de la dette des pays pauvres très endettés. Dix-huit pays profiteront de cet accord. (TSR)
Le coût de ces non remboursements par les pays les plus pauvres sera intégralement couvert par les pays riches qui fourniront des contributions à la Banque mondiale et la Banque africaine de développement (BAD). (TSR)
Ce n'est donc pas d'annulation qu'il est question, mais de translation.
Pourquoi nos courageuses et généreuses majestés sont-elles donc prêtes à endetter d'autant plus leurs propres sujets ? Simple ceux-ci ne vont pas s'en rendre compte. Quant à une vraie annulation, elle n'est pas envisageable car ensuite les prêteurs n'accepteraient plus de prêter à l'État, or, leur pognon est encore nécéssité.
