Not sure what your problem is FRiend. And I have no clue exactly what you are referring to...Federal employees buying gold? Huh? I was talking about government employees being incentivized to save money within their respective departments...When they see a place to save money, they get a perk...That might help get them onboard to be looking for waste reduction and combined with 10% across the board budget reductions, maybe we are off to the races...

Frankly, I think any way we can cut the federal budget through saving money is good. I was not responding to you, but to the poster proposing a 5% reduction across the board...I think that is a great start BTW...tho I would up it to 10%.

I am sorry, I misunderstood your comment. Now I reread it, and my answer is completely off.

No problem...I might not have been as clear as I could have been....

I tend to agree with you regarding some of comments I think you were directing to individual citizens?

Now libs has taken over the finances of the government (house.) It makes perfect sense. When your credit cards are maxed out the best thing to do is get another card.

Yep and the Fed keeps increasingly the Interest rates. So that the U.S. cannot make the minimum payments.

Think of our debt like a credit card payment. What happens when a credit card company keeps raising the interest on your monthly bill. The minimum payment a month goes up. That is why the Fed is doing to the U.S. now.

Keep in mind the Fed raised the interest rates 0 times under Obama in 8 years. The very same Fed has already raised it 7 times under President Trump in less than 2 years, and plan to raise it at least 5 more times.

The Fed, via the a Globalists, are trying to kill the economy in order to blame President Trump for political gain of the people,that want to kill,our Republic. So the Fed is now being weaponized against American people.

They Fed claims they are trying to prevent hyper inflation. However, there are no signs of it except in annual pay that went up 3%. Now given the fact that pay has not increased over the last decade indicates this is not real inflation.

The only way out of this mess is through Digital Assets (aka Blockchain technology).

That could actually work to our advantage if Trump would just start veto-ing everything that came across his desk until the budget was balanced. But he won’t do that. He could still get his court nominees confirmed.

The Short answer is NO! As the article states we have 22 Trillion in debt... So the Fed is not going to raise interest rates. But maybe they could do something else to incentivize SAVINGS? I don’t know what it would be... Maybe the IRS could give people some kind of credit for holding a certain amount in savings?
