What is the Rolling Jubilee?
Much like President Obama, the Occupy movement is alive and well and entering its second term.
The idea behind the Rolling Jubilee is simple, and frankly elegant: buy distressed debt for less than the debt's face value – think unpaid loans of people who are late on their medical bills – and then forgive it. As Occupy put it in a promotional video, now with some 80,000 YouTube views: "Instead of collecting on the debt we buy, we're going to abolish it. Poof." Still rankling from the government's 2008 Wall Street rescue, organizers dubbed the effort the "people's bailout."
