If I spent it on lapdancers, would I still get a taxbreak?

It would depend on you filling in a form that is so complicated it makes arguing whether a chart is a chart on this board look easy.

If they made the banks move into smaller premises, like some of those new build flats they can't get rid off, then the banks would have to lend because they wouldn't have so much room to keep all that money the government keeps printing.

And then they could make it law that everyone has to borrow say 10k and spend it on stuff to help move things along.

Now we are getting somewhere.

Why not make the banks print the new notes using epson ink? They are bound to fade after about 6 months, forcing people to move them on by spending before they become unreadable.

Unfortunately the cost of epson ink makes that solution impractical except for very large denominations.
