    Of course it’s a bad idea, they should just give that money directly to billionaires like they’ve always done.

    But seriously, as I’ve often explained to my wife, it makes no sense to put a thousand dollars into our savings account to earn 5% while we owe a thousand on our credit card being charged at 20%.

    Everyone knows a US sovereign savings account is just going to become another place for congress to steal money from.

      I mean yes fuck them…, also it’s sad that things are far enough in the lunacy that… they are aware how fucked the rest of the path is. It’s kind of like when the headlines for Isis were basically “Al Queda is warning that ISIS is too extreme”.
