Ridiculously low interest rates are called “The Senior Tax.” Many older people contributed slowly to a nest egg all their lives with the intention of living on the interest. They get no praise, only pain, for helping the economy in this way. It could be worse — interest rates could be NEGATIVE!
If you saw all of the regulations placed on banks, I hardly call it deregulation. Bankers have more regulations now than at any point in America’s history.

They use your money to make more money for themselves and charge you a service fee for the privilege of letting them use your money. What a racket!
