$SCORPIO GOLD REPORTS 71.3 G/T GOLD OVER 4.6 M INCLUDING 203.1 G/T OVER 1.5 M AT THE MANHATTAN MINE PROPERTY, NEVADA
November 2, 2021
Vancouver, November 2, 2021 –
https://www.scorpiogold.com/news/scorpio-gold-reports-71.3-g-t-gold-over-4.6-m-including-203.1-g-t-over-1.5-m-at-the-manhattan-mine-property-nevada/
Scorpio Gold Corporation (“Scorpio Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SGN) is pleased to provide an update of its surface RC drilling program at the Manhattan West and East pits of the recently acquired Kinross Manhattan Property in Manhattan, Nevada.
The first phase of the RC drilling program is now complete, with 31 holes (6907m) drilled including 19 holes in the West Pit area and 12 holes at East Pit area (Figures 1 and 2). Assay results received for 12 of the holes were reported in the Company’s July 20 and September 7, 2021 news releases, reporting near surface, high-grade mineralization over broad intersections in the West Pit area. Assay results for 2 additional holes are presented in Table 1. Results for the remaining holes will be provided following the receipt of confirmation assays from ALS Minerals Laboratory.
Drill hole MWRC21-004 returned a high-grade intersection of 71.3g/t gold over 4.6m including 203.1 g/t over 1.5 m (Table 1). The lithology and mineralization noted in rock chips from the intersection closely resembles the high-grade intersection in previously reported MWRC21-001, which returned 20.04 g/t gold over 15.3 m. Hole 004 is located 297m southeast of 001 along the strike of the mineralized structural trend.
Drill hole MWRC21-003 collared ~140m northwest of 004 intersected a barren fault zone at the expected target depth, suggesting the mineralized zone is faulted out in this location. Gold mineralization was encountered a further 30m downhole within a stockwork calcite zone returning 2.03 g/t gold over 6.1m (Table 1).

All analytical results were performed by ALS Minerals Laboratory, in Reno, Nevada an ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accredited facility, utilizing fire assay with gravimetric finish analysis. Further details are presented in the Company’s quality assurance and quality control program for the Goldwedge project available at: GW QAQC. The same protocols apply to the Manhattan project.
Drilling in the West Pit area (Figure 1) is targeting gold mineralization in the vicinity of the northwesterly-trending and northeasterly-dipping Little Gray fault zone, at the junction of prominent cross structures postulated to control high-grade mineralization. The Little Gray fault zone appears to be post-mineralization in age and has upthrown the mineralized block to near surface in this area. Gold mineralization is hosted within intensely faulted and folded quartz ± mica schist within the Paleozoic Goldhill Formation metasediments. Results received from the drilling to date indicate a 300m continuous trend of mineralization from the West Pit northward from as shallow as 19m from surface.
This latest phase of drilling along with historical exploration and production drilling at the Manhattan Mine indicates a shallow, southwesterly dipping trend to mineralization. Targeted core drilling and systematic RC definition drilling will be required to fully determine the potential and the modes of occurrence of the mineralization.

SCORPIO GOLD EXECUTES THE KINROSS MANHATTAN PROJECT AGREEMENT
October 14, 2020
Vancouver, October 14, 2020 – Scorpio Gold Corporation (“Scorpio Gold” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SGN) is pleased to announce it has executed a definitive agreement for the acquisition of the Manhattan Project Properties (the “Manhattan Property”) located in Nye Country, Nevada situated adjacent and proximal to Scorpio Gold’s Goldwedge property (see July 20, 2020 news release).
This acquisition of 4,300 acres combined with the Goldwedge 1,771 acres gives Scorpio Gold complete land control of 6,071 acres around the Goldwedge facility, providing the opportunity to expand surface operations and the potential for expanding underground mining and exploration. It also consolidates a large land position along the Reliance Fault Zone, which has significant exploration potential for high-grade gold targets at the intersections of the Reliance structure and ring faulting related to the Manhattan Caldera. The Manhattan Property is comprised of 22 patented claims and 219 unpatented claims situated adjacent and proximal to the Company’s Goldwedge property.
The Company is well funded to drive an extensive exploration program at the Goldwedge Mine, in the Keystone-Jumbo deposit area and the Manhattan Property. An underground delineation drilling program is in progress at the Goldwedge Mine and planning for surface drilling on high-priority targets over the entire land package is underway.
The Manhattan Property is located within the Manhattan Mining District and centered ~17 km south of the +15 million oz. Round Mountain Mine. It adjoins the southwest boundary of the Scorpio Gold’s Goldwedge property and includes 2 former producing mines. The Reliance Mine, located within 600 metres of the Goldwedge deposit, reportedly produced ~59,000 tons grading 0.435 oz/ton from 1932 to 1941. The Manhattan Mine East and West pits situated 600-1,000 meters southwest of Goldwedge produced ~236,000 oz. from 1974-1990. The deposits lie along the northwest-trending Reliance Fault Zone, which is considered the most predominant ore controlling structure in the region. The Reliance trend continues 4 km southeast to Scorpio Gold’s Keystone-Jumbo project area.
Regionally, the Round Mountain and Manhattan-Goldwedge properties are situated on the northern and southern periphery, respectively, of the tertiary-aged Manhattan Caldera (24.4 Ma). Formation of the caldera is thought to have a genetic relation to the formation of gold deposits in the district. Gold deposits are primarily structurally controlled quartz-silver bearing veins and stockworks in Paleozoic-aged metasediments. The predominate style and timing of mineralization in the region is epithermal low to intermediate sulfidation systems ranging from 26 Ma to 16 Ma in age, although Carlin-style mineralization has also been noted within the district (e.g. White Caps Mine).
Considerable exploration work has been conducted by various operators since production ended at the Manhattan Mine in 1990. The consolidation of a large land package that includes the Goldwedge, Reliance and Manhattan mines provides an exceptional exploration opportunity for the Company.
Consideration of US$100,000 and the issue of the equivalent value of US$150,000 common shares will be paid/issued at closing after all the closing conditions have been met or waived. Upon closing, the Manhattan Property will be subject to an existing 2% net smelter returns royalty and certain reserved water rights as defined in the agreement. Round Mountain Gold Corporation (“RMGC”) and KG Mining (Round Mountain) Inc. (the “Sellers”) will also provide copies of all non-interpretive geologic data, mining records and land status information and any drill core samples relating to the Manhattan Property that the Sellers own or control. In addition, the Company has arranged for substitute surety arrangements in a form acceptable to each of the government authorities in the amount of US$191,188.
About Scorpio Gold
Scorpio Gold holds a 100% interest in the advanced exploration-stage Goldwedge property in Manhattan, Nevada with a fully permitted underground mine and a 400 ton per day mill facility and a 100% interest of the Manhattan Property situated adjacent and proximal to the Goldwedge property. The Company is in the process of finalizing the acquisition of the adjacent Kinross Manhattan property.
Scorpio Gold is party to an earn-in option agreement with Titan Mining Corporation whereby Titan can earn an 80% joint venture interest on the Company’s 100% owned Mineral Ridge gold project located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. To maintain the option Titan must spend a total of US$35 million over a staged period of five years. If Titan spends the initial US$7 million of expenditures by January 1, 2022, it will also have the right to acquire a 100% interest by paying Scorpio Gold US$35 million on or before December 31, 2022.

SCORPIO GOLD BEGINS UNDERGROUND BULK SAMPLING PROGRAM AT ITS GOLDWEDGE MINE, NEVADA
October 13, 2020
Vancouver, October 13, 2020 – Scorpio Gold Corporation (“Scorpio Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SGN) is pleased to announce the commencement of an underground bulk sampling program and preliminary metallurgical testing at its 100% owned Goldwedge Mine located in Manhattan Nevada. The program is intended to provide additional information where 2020 drilling intersected high-grade gold and silver mineralization proximal to underground workings as reported in the Company’s news release dated July 27, 2020.
Scorpio Gold contracted Nevada Rand Mining LLC (“NRM”) to conduct the underground program which began on October 7, 2020. The sampling will focus on an area where 2020 underground drill hole GWUG20-001 intersected 7.6 m averaging 12.47 g/t gold and 176.23 g/t silver, that included 1.52 m grading 53.49 g/t gold and 0.15 m grading 3,960 g/t silver. Hole GWUG20-001 was collared in the face of cross-cut “A” at the 2060 m (6760 ft) elevation and was drilled at 247° azimuth and -10° dip. The hole intersected the high-grade mineralization from 25.3 to 32.9 m downhole. A 9 x 9 ft drift will be developed from the crosscut face through the mineralized zone encountered in hole GWUG20-001 for bulk sampling purposes. Once completed, this drift will also be proximal to mineralization intersected in 2020 drill holes, GWUG20-002 and GWUG20-003.
Diane Zerga, General Manager for Mineral Ridge LLC & Goldwedge LLC, comments, “We are pleased to work with NRM to advance our understanding of the mineralization at the Goldwedge Mine, which in turn will assist in future drill planning, potential test mining and test milling at the Goldwedge mill facility.”
As reported in the Company’s July 27, 2020 news release, several samples from the 2020 drilling were submitted for screen fire assay to determine any variability of the assay results in the fine and coarse fractions. Results from this testing indicated that a coarse component for both gold and silver is present, and although the gold results are fairly repeatable when compared to the original assays, there was a significant increase in silver values in many of the results.
The bulk sample program will consist of muck and channel sampling to provide a better representation of the gold and silver grade distribution within the mineralized zone. Metallurgical testing will also be conducted as a preliminary test to determine how the material will respond to conventional milling processes.
NRM will be utilizing the existing Goldwedge mining equipment to complete the program, including a Tamrock EMCO 985 15 ton haul truck, a Wagner 3.5 yard scooptram, and an MWS83 jack leg drill.

SCORPIO GOLD ANNOUNCES OPTION AGREEMENT WITH TITAN MINING TO EARN 80% INTEREST IN THE MINERAL RIDGE PROPERTY FOR US$35M OF EXPENDITURES OR 100% FOR US$35M PAYMENT, AND RELATED C$5M EQUITY FINANCING
Vancouver, August 31, 2020 – Scorpio Gold Corporation (“Scorpio Gold” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SGN) is pleased to announce, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, a part and parcel transaction whereby Scorpio Gold will raise C$5 million in equity and has granted an option to Titan Mining Corporation (“Titan”) to earn an 80% interest in the Mineral Ridge Property, located in Nevada, by spending US$35 million on exploration over five years. If Titan spends US$7 million of exploration expenditures on Mineral Ridge, it will also receive the right to acquire a 100% interest in Mineral Ridge by making a cash payment to Scorpio Gold of US$35 million on or before December 31, 2022.
Brian Lock, CEO, comments “The Titan agreement provides a direct opportunity to build on the substantial value of the Mineral Ridge Property that was outlined in the 2018 updated feasibility study. Titan has stated their intention to immediately commence a comprehensive drilling campaign that will focus on the down-dip and strike extensions of the existing deposits and systematically test seven other high-priority exploration targets. This will be the first wide-ranging exploration drill program conducted on the nearly 14,000 acre Mineral Ridge Property in the history of Scorpio Gold’s tenure. With Titan advancing Mineral Ridge, Scorpio Gold will have the opportunity to focus on its Goldwedge Property, including advancing its toll milling operations and furthering its exploration programs on the Goldwedge and Keystone-Jumbo deposit areas. The coming months look to be very active and promising for Scorpio Gold.”
Titan Option Agreement (the “Agreement”)
Terms of the Agreement require Titan to spend US$35 million in staged expenditures over a period of five years (the “Option Term”) to earn an 80% ownership interest (the “Earn-in Option”) in Mineral Ridge Gold LLC (“MRG”), an indirect subsidiary of Scorpio Gold which holds all of the mineral rights and water rights comprising the Mineral Ridge Property. In order to maintain the Earn-In Option in good standing, Titan must incur expenditures of US$7 million on or before January 1, 2022, then a further US$7 million on each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the commencement of the effectiveness of the Earn-In Option. In addition, if Titan spends the initial US$7 million of expenditures by January 1, 2022, it will also have the right to acquire a 100% interest in MRG by making a cash payment to Scorpio Gold of US$35 million on or before December 31, 2022 (the “Purchase Option”) .
Until the earlier of the December 31, 2021 and the date that Scorpio Gold extracts a further 3200 ounces of gold from the Mineral Ridge Property, Scorpio Gold may continue its gold recoveries from the heap leach operations on the Mineral Ridge Property for its own account with 25% of the proceeds of such operation, net of operating costs, to be held in a segregated trust account which will remain an asset of MRG if Titan exercises the Earn-in Option or Purchase Option.
The effectiveness of the Agreement remains subject to receipt of the approval of the shareholders of Scorpio Gold pursuant to a special resolution to be put forward at the upcoming annual general and special meeting of shareholders of Scorpio Gold on October 2, 2020.
Private Placement and Board Appointment Right
In connection with the Agreement, Scorpio Gold will raise C$5 million by the sale of 31,250,000 units (“Units”) at C$0.16 per Unit (the “Offering”) with Augusta Investments Inc. (“Augusta”) a company beneficially held by Richard W. Warke, purchasing C$4.6 million of the Offering.
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a “Share”) and one Share purchase warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share for a period of three years from issuance at an exercise price equal to the lesser of $0.30 and the closing price of the Shares following the announcement of the Agreement and the Offering, subject to a minimum exercise price of $0.24. .
Augusta will subscribe for 29,031,250 Units for proceeds of $4,645,000, of which such number of Units will be issued in an initial tranche (the “Initial Tranche”), as a result of which, Augusta will hold 19.99% of the outstanding Shares on an undiluted basis. The Company will seek shareholder approval at its upcoming annual general and special meeting of shareholders to approve Augusta as a control person of the Company, following which, subject to receipt of such shareholder approval, the remaining Units will be issued to Augusta. The Warrants to be issued to Augusta in the Initial Tranche will not be exercisable to the extent they would cause Augusta to hold 20% or more of the outstanding common shares of Scorpio Gold until such shareholder approval is obtained. Upon the closing of the second tranche issuance to Augusta, it is anticipated that Augusta will own or control 29,031,250 Shares, representing 28.8% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, on an undiluted basis.
The proceeds of the private placement will be used primarily for advancing the planned toll-milling operations and exploration on the Company’s Goldwedge mineral property and for general corporate purposes.
Upon closing the Initial Tranche, as long as Augusta continues to hold at least 10% of the outstanding Shares, Augusta will be entitled to appoint one nominee to the Board of Directors of the Company.

Mexus is a younger, less experienced, upcoming new kid in the block, but the potentials are huge, Mexus will run, just matter of time...!.. Management is not savvy informers, they do not connect with their shareholders that well, many juniors are like that: AABB, ACRL, BMXI and the questionable BMIX, they all have communication issues!!...

Spike in gold puts dollar's reserve status in question: Goldman Sachs
July 28, 2020 - 11:43 AM EDT
A record high price for gold, known as the currency of last resort, is raising questions about the U.S. dollar's future as the world's reserve currency, according to a Goldman Sachs research note published Tuesday.
The commodity, which tends to see increased demand during economic uncertainty, reached an unprecedented price of $1,943 an ounce this week, in part because of record-low interest rates that Goldman Sachs analysts said may demonstrate a stronger appetite for inflation at the Federal Reserve.
"Combined with a record level of debt accumulation by the US government, real concerns around the longevity of the US dollar as a reserve currency have started to emerge," the analysts wrote.
The idea that the dollar may one day be seen as less of a safe currency jeopardizes its role as the world's reserve currency, a position that has given the U.S. financial system a tremendous advantage in global financial markets for decades.
Gold is a safe commodity because it is in limited supply and considered to have inherent value, which means fears of inflation or other economic turbulence like the coronavirus recession could drive up demand. Goldman Sachs increased its 12-month forecast for the price of gold from $2,000 to $2,300 an ounce.
Analysts said that while inflation risks remain low today, a confluence of factors coming together could push prices up in the future. Among those factors are record-low interest rates, new steps by the Federal Reserve to expand its balance sheet and rising debt.
Meanwhile, the Senate may soon hold a confirmation vote on a controversial Trump nominee, Judy Shelton, for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board. Shelton has supported the gold standard in the past, a position that's unpopular on both sides of the aisle and in most economic circles.
GOP Sens. Mitt Romney (Utah) and Susan Collins (Maine) have announced their opposition, meaning one more Republican could sink her nomination.
Shelton, who advised President Trump's campaign in 2016, has called the Federal Reserve's power over financial markets and money "quite unhealthy."

Thank you Starb!
I have been holding this ps for more than couple of years, the management failed to run a company like this with proven gold and other metals reserves, what a great time to revive and develop this gem!!, still hoping!?.

Q2 results are in!
Peter Hawley, CEO, comments, "Following another strong quarter at Mineral Ridge, the Company is well on track to meet its 2014 production forecast of 40,000 to 45,000 ounces gold at a cash cost of $800 to $850 per ounce of gold sold. Operational excellence remains the Company's key focus, and with the new carbon column tower coming on line as planned at the end of Q2, continued performance through the second half of 2014 is fully expected. We are very proud of our Mineral Ridge operations team, which continues to deliver solid results despite a lower average gold price."
Highlights for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2014:
9,034 ounces of gold produced compared to 10,769 ounces produced during Q2 of 2013. In late June 2014, an additional carbon column was installed which is expected to increase the rate of processing of pregnant leach solution and thereby bring down leach pad inventory and consequently increase gold production.
------------
if any readers have been looking for a place to start acquiring, this would be a low-risk entry level to consider.
This installation of a second carbon column is a BIG deal! :)

Hi Talldude, it is indeed unfortunate that a performing producing company like Scorpio Gold gets zero respect in the market. They are efficient and productive.
However with the current price of gold, they do not make a lot of profit, when you consider the $800 per ounce cost of production and then all the add ins for cost of drilling, exploration, administration fees, salaries, dog and pony shows, options expenses, etc. I would guess this brings the total cost of production to at least $1100-1200 per ounce.
Still not bad, and if we went back to $1900 per ounce POG or higher, the stock price would quickly triple of quadruple.
Here's to hoping that happens within the next year, or the suffering of producing and non producing juniors will certainly continue. Many of the non producers will close up shop, IMO
Regards to you, Belgie

Update PR: SOLDBERRY.SATELLITE.DEPOSIT (Mineral.Ridge.Project)
Scorpio Gold Intersects 12.15 g/t Over 19.81 Meters at the Solberry Satellite Deposit, Mineral Ridge Project, Nevada
Press Release: MINING EXPLORATION UPDATE – 9AM EDT Mon 6.16.2014
Good Looking 12.14g/t over 19.81 Meters
Update as promised and on-time release, as in the May 2014 Mine Tour YouTube vids in prior post by MUDbone1
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 16, 2014) - Scorpio Gold Corporation ("Scorpio Gold" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SGN) reports additional results from its 2014 drilling program at the 70% owned Mineral Ridge project, located in Nevada. The Solberry deposit lies west of the currently producing Drinkwater and Mary pits and 600 meters northwest of the heap leach pad.
Pre-2013 RC drilling on the Solberry deposit outlined a small shallow resource based upon a floating cone pit shell (as reported in the Company's August 16, 2013 news release). Follow-up infill drilling was conducted in 2013 within the mineralized wireframe envelope modelled by Telesto, which extended east-southeast of the pit shell outline. Drilling in 2014 is targeting the extension of mineralization into untested ground outside of the current pit shell outline and southeast toward the Oromonte deposit. The 2014 drill program is designed to potentially expand and enhance the confidence level of the current resource.
In addition to the ongoing RC drilling campaign, the Company has commenced a property wide 14 hole 2,000 meter HQ diameter oriented core drilling program. The purpose of collecting this data is to better understand the preserved lithology and structural geology as well as the styles and controls to mineralization. Two oriented core holes, MR14985 and MR14986, were recently drilled proximal to RC-hole MR14929 (Table 1), providing the site exploration team with valuable detailed geological data in an area of high-grade mineralization. Assay results from these cored holes are pending. Results from the oriented core drilling program will greatly assist in guiding continued exploration on the Mineral Ridge property.
Highlights from this phase of RC drilling on the Solberry deposit include:
MR14783: 3.26 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold over 4.57 meters

As regards debt and gold's resurgence in time.
Andrew Ross is an NYU professor and activist with Strike Debt. He is the author of "Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal."
In the 1970s and 1980s, developing countries got caught in a “debt trap” laid by Northern banks and creditors. Rather than enjoying credit that might aid their development, they were condemned to an eternity of debt service payments. Despite international efforts to promote debt forgiveness, most of them are still trapped, and have as a result become either failed or dysfunctional democracies because they are forced to prioritize debt repayments to foreign borrowers over the needs of their own people.
In the past decade or so, the debt trap has migrated to the North. Sovereign nations in the eurozone, revenue-strapped municipalities, public transit authorities and struggling households are all forced to borrow simply to meet their obligations to creditors. The formula used to trap personal debtors today is much the same as the International Monetary Fund’s formerly controversial lending arrangements to poor countries — loan installments are made so that borrowers can service existing debts, while the principal is rolled over. With average incomes stagnant or falling, households have no alternative but to follow the same path. The likely consequence is that they end up performing a lifetime of debt service to the banks.
As I argue in my book “Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal,” this is how our financialized society works: The goal is to keep debtors on the hook for as long as possible, wrapping debt around every possible asset and income stream to generate profit. After all, if we pay down our debts entirely, we are no longer reliable sources of revenue for the banks.
The size of some of these [financial] institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder
We are now well into the sixth year since the financial crash, yet every week still brings fresh headlines about malfeasance, fraud and extortion on the part of the finance industry. The cumulative record of scams is long and grisly: the collusion of bankers in LIBOR rate fixing, their pseudo-forgiveness of phantom debt, their rigging of municipal bond markets, their pursuit of illegal foreclosures, their payment protection insurance ripoff and the mendacity of their collection agents. As crooked as these practices are, it is clear that our elected officials are simply not able to bring the perpetrators to justice. Indeed, Attorney General Eric Holder publicly acknowledged the “too big to jail” doctrine in Senate testimony last year, when he observed that “the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them.”
Over the same period, we have seen a brisk increase in the number of debtors being sent to jail for traffic fines and other minor infractions. It appears that “debtors’ prisons,” first abolished in some U.S. states in the 1820s but not declared unconstitutional until the 1970s, have been staging a return all across the country. We are fast becoming a society in which the largest institutional swindlers are protected from prosecution while those struggling to pay their bills are criminalized and put behind bars.
‘Odious’ debt
In the absence of penal punishment, those who cannot pay are faced with harsh moral censure. Creditors rely on this payback morality to enforce their claims, and it is a deeply ingrained mentality. Civilization will crumble, we are led to believe, if people break their obligations to make creditors whole. But clearly, some debts are illegitimate, or predatory in nature, and probably should not be honored. For the last 15 years, advocates in the Jubilee South movement have campaigned, with some success, for cancellation of the external debts of developing countries. They have developed moral and legal arguments to distinguish between loans that were clearly advantageous to these societies, and loans that benefited only the creditors or inflicted social and environmental damage on families, communities and national sovereignty. The internationally recognized legal category of “odious” debt pertains to loans taken on by dictators and whose costs should not be passed on to the citizenry. But there are also other criteria, relating, for example, to the double-dealing of kleptocratic officials, that have been used to determine whether the loans were really needed, or whether their terms were negotiated with an eye on private profit rather than public welfare.
It’s easy to understand why taxpayers would balk at footing the bill when the sour outcomes of private speculation get repackaged as public debt, as happened after the bank bailouts, or when dodgy loan products are sold to credulous officials by hedge fund managers. These are questionable obligations to pass on to the electorate, and they probably should be reviewed through a citizens’ debt audit to see which ones stand up and which do not. But should personal loans be subject to the same line of moral inquiry? Are these debts not taken on voluntarily and in full knowledge of the consequences? The answers are not as simple as they seem, especially if they are guided by moral scrutiny of the creditors’ conduct.
Permanent indebtedness
The subprime scandal revealed the predatory basis of lending to those who could not make ends meet. The same kind of attitude dominates the landscape of fringe finance, where payday lenders, check cashers and other poverty banks all thrive on usurious interest rates. Making loans that clearly can never be repaid may be a more delinquent act than being unable to pay. Nor is this a situation that applies only to shaking down the working poor. In the past two decades, the condition of permanent indebtedness has penetrated deeply into the middle class, where creditors are knowingly creating debt traps in hopes of turning us all into “revolvers”: the kind of debtors who cannot ever clear the monthly balance but who pay the minimum, along with late fees and penalties, ensuring a steady flow of revenue.
Most problematic of all are the debts incurred to finance our access to vital social goods — education, health care, shelter and public infrastructure. For most people, these are existential and unavoidable, and are not the result of discretionary choices. Moreover, they could be classed as antisocial debts, because they eat away at the foundations of society. More than 60 percent of U.S. bankruptcies arise from medical debt, and these numbers have not fallen off in Massachusetts since the prototype of Obamacare was installed in that state.
Debts are, quite literally, the wages of the future.
Student debt, liberally offered to young adults who are not old enough to drink, is touted as the obligatory price to pay for access to a decent, but ever more elusive, job in the knowledge economy. Requiring young people to forfeit an increasingly larger chunk of their future income simply to prepare themselves for employment has been compared to indenture, though it may be more accurate to describe it as a kind of wage theft that lenders, both public and private, wittingly engage in. Debts are, quite literally, the wages of the future.
Our national economic managers are vexed by the prospect of generations of overindebted graduates who will not be able to buy a house, raise children or purchase big-ticket consumer items. But the larger threat is to the workings of an operational democracy. A crushing debt burden stifles our capacity to think freely, act conscientiously and fulfill our democratic responsibilities. Too many young people now feel their future has been foreclosed before they have entered full adulthood. And, given the creditors’ goal of prolonging debt service to the grave, the burden of repayment is shifting disproportionately toward the elderly (many of whom now are routinely asked to cosign student loans). Democracies don’t survive well without a functional middle class or a citizenry endowed with an optional political imagination, and the test of a humane one is how it treats seniors when they outlast their capacity to earn a living wage.
High levels of indebtedness are typically seen as a drag on the economy, but the costs to democracy are much greater. What share of responsibility lies with Wall Street, or with a government that is so beholden to bankers that it cannot protect, or provide relief to, its citizenry? Figuring out which debts we can legitimately refuse may turn out to be the only way of salvaging popular democracy. The titans of the finance industry will pronounce any talk of economic disobedience to be thoroughly unethical, but perhaps they are the last people to be preaching about morality.
