I received this heads-up in an investment newsletter yesterday. This story appeared in The Times of London on January 8th. Its the Solution to our current financial crisis:
"Punish savers and make them spend money"
In the article, Mr. Kaletsky points out that interest rates have been pushed to zero for "safe" deposits. Further, there is a proposal to tax funds on these same deposits. The idea is to get people to put their cash in other assets or to just spend! Even specifically talks about buying real estate. He also points out that these policies run against the general public sentiment in both Britain and the US.
Read the article, put your thoughts up here.
More "I'm with the government and I'm here to help" stuff.
So, if you're looking for a way to get by in these times, follow the lead! Take all your prospects out to lunch today!
