the banks are going to have to get involved soon...figure out a way to load up working-age people with long-term debt

Why the hell do the banks need to step in? System for an indentured workforce is already in full effect:

no safety net, unemployment difficult to get and punishing poverty if it's all you have
require a car (e.g. initial capital and ongoing cost) to participate in many jobs
have oligopolies rent out housing that is so expensive even those with full-time work can't save any money
have oligopolies own groceries, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
have oligopolies own medical facilities, they maximize profits (consumer cost)
stuff people full of consumer desires and give them easy access to credit
