>The Federal Reserve to Pensions: Suspend Disbelief Indefinitely - USA GOLD - USA Gold
This 'low interest' theory is flat out nonsense - the public pensions have essentially been a Ponzi scheme (in the UK) since at least 2000 - the fund managers (including those of the private sector schemes) approached the Finance Minister of the time, Mr. Brown, to ask how they would keep remittances paid, given the loss of contributions from working members. They were told to start being 'more creative in their investment strategies.' Of course, they were worried about the risk, but were given assurance that the government would be there to help out, should anything go wrong.

Sadly, the fund managers decided not to bother purchasing this 'worthless' asset that provides no return - instead they invested in 'the sure thing' of the Icelandic Banks - we all know how that ended, and T-notes.

Now, it is a legal requirement that ALL employees participate in a work-place pension, or face dismissal.
The problem all along has been, and will be, too much fictional or artificial, currency in the system.

But it sure would be nice to hear news of a different kind ... Lire la suite
