For those unwashed types that do not work on Wall Street and that do not get their million dollar bonuses, and for those that go to work day after day perhaps at jobs that they do not like all that much, the one shelter from the great rat race has traditionally been to save money.
Our government's answer to savers is to go fly a kite. There is no escape from this great American hamster wheel of debt.
If you try to save money in a traditional savings account our government has embarked on policies where the rate of inflation will be greater than the interest paid on the account.
Obama says FU Savers. You will buy that overpriced house and be inundated with debt. You will go to the mall and rack up your credit card. You will risk your money on the stock market.
Because if you try to save your money our government will just take it from you with inflation.
