James the (Very) Guarded Optimist- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I am more of the view that we lean towards repeating the Argentinian experience of the last thirty to seventy-five years. Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, something South American or southern american style. The old people in this country have already been screwed silly by nearly twenty years of too-low interest rates paid on deposits. Much much income and purchasing power transferred directly from the oldsters to the banksters. Also, recently you are constantly seeing stories about people taping into their private retirement accounts and how terrible that is. To me, that is just the main-stream media laying the popular-opinion groundwork for the federal government confiscating private IRAs. To protect us from spending our own money, don't you know. Madame Pelosi allowed some House committee to take a brief shot at that already, about two years ago. It did occur in Argentina about ten years ago. just a random ramble... oly |
