the problem is that 'line must go up' is because of inflation. not greed, not capitalism, simply because of inflation. And the only thing fractional reserve banking using fiat money can do, is create inflation. The problem we have today, is that 99.xx% of the value of the dollar has been inflated away, and the system is doing everything it can to not reach 100% but it will, it has to. When it does, money will be literally worthless. Its how the whole thing is set up. The governments of the world are scrambling to create a new digital fiat sollution so they can pull a fast one on everyone rather than have the entire system collapse on them. This is why they need digital ids, and why they need everyone on board. The right wing claims its about fighting porn and protecting the children, the left wing pretends its about protecting rights holders or whatever.
but at the end of the day they need to reset the monetary system and impliment a new one, a fresh start would be ideal (for them), and if they can sneak in some dirty new rules to secure their rule forever, they will.
so how does 'line go up' cause so many problems? because inflation effects the value of everyone's money, even the bankers themselves. If you make 100$ in profit in year one, and 100$ in year 2, but the inflation is any number > 0, then you have effectively lost money. In terms of raw value, you are losing money, and so you do what you can to make 100$ + inflation. The actual numbers dont matter, this statement is true for 1$ 100$ 1 trillion $.
But the swindle in the fiant monetary system is that... this extra money doesnt exist. It never existed. It has to be printed into existence, and then loaned to the government through the fed. Which means it creates more debt, which cant be repaid, because it requires money that doesnt exist to pay itself off, which faccilitates the printing of more money. Its an infinite loop.
