Default Forgive all debts

An intriguing idea I came across on another forum:

Forgive all debts

What do you guys think if they were just to forgive everyone's debts. No mortgage, no car payment, and no credit cards to pay for. I think that could really help our economy. Think about all the cars that people could go out and buy, therefore helping our infrastructure. People that need work done on their house could now afford to do so.

There have been many cultures in the past that have done this. What do you guys think about this. Crticisim is welcome. What are the problems with doing this? What are some of the advantages?

Even the bible has an opinion on this
The forgiving of 'debts', public and private was commanded in the Bible. It is called the Fifty Year Jubilee. For His documention, you will locate it in Leviticus 25 vrs 10-17. But hey, since when has mankind done anything God's way?
