Shouldn't we give up and call an end to the entire fake, faulty and 
corrupt process called government? After all, life's great if we don't think about what lies ahead. Let me explain.
The government continues to deficit finance on a huge scale and rate. The numbers are fraudulent because the process allows special interests and ordinary citizens to pretend that all is well. My point is that if interest rates were allowed by the FED to return to the 5%+ of the past 25 years, this budgetary scam would blow up tomorrow, given the $19 Trillion of current debt.
What is even more scary is that:
- Pray tell, how do our private employee pension plans continue to remain solvent when our plans are forced for ‘prudent investment reasons' to invest a large percentage in the highest rated ‘investment grade bonds' which yield virtually no interest income anymore?
- How will our pension plans pay us our pensions in the future?
- Indeed, with a zero interest rate policy, what do all responsible persons do who try to save for their futures by ‘investing' in CD's and other fixed rate ‘safe' investments? Their savings can't grow and their responsible behavior, designed to take them into and through retirement, is sabotaged by government policy.
Conclusion
The baby boom generation, and those beyond, are being set up to exist during their ‘golden years' in a state of penury. The short shelf life span of those of us on the leading edge just might allow us to escape the consequences by being on the front benches of the grim reaper's warehouse.
