you can use CDS to insure performance of your high quality A+ "recurring revenue" bonds. It is pretty cheap for high quality A+ bonds.
>>Just need to make sure you don't end up with financers/banks/rating agencies colluding to bundle multiple companies together and sell tranches of the debt (all with a phony A+ rating) to investors/funds...
but that is exactly the point of the securitization and high skill in doing it which would allow to bring all those sweet pension fund money into play. "financers/banks/rating agencies colluding " - it like saying violin and piano players colluding in Metropolitan Opera performance.

To push that point further, we had it easy in 2008 because governments used QE to push more money into the economy and prop up banks, but what if they can't grab that free lunch next time?
