No concession. You made shit up. The onus is on you to provide proof, not me to disprove. The only education for you is to not just spread bullshit next time. If you make a claim, support it with evidence.

I dont see that you have evidence for the contrary though. Why would i need evidence on a claim that is so well understood? I need you to prove me wrong.

This is what you are doing.

Either you're arguing in bad faith or you're too dense to understand how this works. You make a claim and can't support it. That means your claim has no merit. It means nothing without supporting evidence. Nobody has to disprove it because it carries no value. You say it's well understood, but can't back it up. That's it. Baseless claims are equivalent to falacy that don't need disproven.

Buddy im past that. Im asking you now to help me understand. If you cant help me underatand then you can say that. Ill concede and say i made a baseless claim. It is a claim I have heard but i dont remember where i saw. But i want help understanding how it works. The only information i see look like this.

This doesnt specify how it was spent. I am assuming loans are taken out from banks and they need funds to pay back the interest on the loans. I dont see information on that specifically though.
