You simply present the card anywhere — you get things. You don’t require to pay. Then your bills will be paid by the bank. This is the system… Bank of American card, in any Bank of America, I can get one hundred to five undred dollars immediately. I have got that card….the respectable customers… Yes….money, then you can squander it, and that is the idea. And you more spend money; then they manufacture consumer goods. That is the policy… sad says, tena tyaktena bhunjitha: ‘Don’t use anything more than what is allotted to you.’ That’s all. But they are creating artificial demand, and the demand is being paid for by artificial paper. The government is issuing: ‘This is five hundred pounds or five hundred rupees,’ but it is paper only.
