If Every Country Is in Debt... Who Actually Pays?

Описание: If every country is in debt, who's the creditor? We answered that question before—central banks, bondholders, the system itself. But that only solves half the puzzle. If governments never fully repay, someone still absorbs the cost. Debt doesn't disappear. It transfers. The question isn't whether someone pays. The question is: who pays, and how?

This video reveals who actually pays for government debt:

How inflation acts as a silent tax, eroding savings without announcement
Why wage growth appears positive on paper but purchasing power stagnates
What happens to pensioners when fixed income meets decades of rising costs
How future generations inherit debt obligations they never authorized
Why benefits concentrate while costs diffuse across millions
The complexity shield: how technical language prevents recognition
Historical patterns from Rome to Weimar showing debt transfer mechanisms
Why modern central banks use sophisticated terminology to obscure the same process

The pattern repeats across monetary history. Rome debased silver. Weimar printed marks. Today's system is more precise—but the outcome is identical. Value transfers from currency holders to currency issuers, in amounts too small to trigger resistance.

Understanding who pays for government debt reveals how systems distribute costs invisibly. When the mechanism stays hidden, the transfer continues undisturbed.
