Well, gee, when the big-government/big-bank criminal-complex steals money from the peasants the big-government/big-bank economy improves!

Who knew?

I can think of nothing more harmful to the American middle class who save-negative interest rates. You save $1000 and one year from now you get back $995. And if there is even 1 or 2% inflation the results are even worse. The $995 won’t buy as much than the year before if prices have gone up.

If we had not had those negative rates, we would be in a much worse place today,


Ever notice every wacky policy decision, be it from Central Banks or governments, always is justified with this line?

BS. The Globalists simply want to force people out of holding onto savings and gamble it in the markets. They also want to outlaw cash. The Antichrist is on the move.

Negative rates in Europe and Japan have helped support global growth and price gains

If you count China's bubble economy and the related commodity bubble, then that is technically correct. But we also found out that it is not sustainable. Worse still, it hollows out the rest of the economy including our own. Finally she is measuring growth by including price increases that should be counted as inflation.

You are baffled by the counterintuitiveness of how the economy actually can be made to thrive by causing savings and investment disappear?

Sheesh! Stuck in the Dark Ages!

In science, the cream rises to the top.

In politics, the turds do.

Lagarde is soooo fitting of the above truism.

Oh, climate research is politics.

Recall how a generation of unborn American citizens were slaughtered in accordance with liberal idiology on behalf of "zero population growth" for an ecological benefit only to be replaced in an omamanation with imported resource hungry democrats.

Lagarde is one of the globalist ringleaders. The imf is totally control obsessed and thoroughly infiltrated by the lbgt nazis. I believe, though some disagree with me, that lagarde is a transvestite.
