    This Country needs a Jubilee right about now.

    Jubilee

    In ancient Jewish times, Jubilee was held every 49 years, and was a ritualized way of giving everyone a clean slate.
    The basic tenet of jubilee is that all debts should be forgiven. This included indenture and mortgage of person and property. Thus, the concept was readily embraced by America's slave population, and entered our folklore.

    Amazing what you can learn from researching Grateful Dead songs.
