Warning: Trump’s Federal Reserve Pick Hates Gold and Cash

That is he “hates” economic liberty. Gold is money and it challenges the Federal Reserve system fundamentally. Cash, though a creature of the Federal Reserve is at least not digital, and so gives one some degree of freedom and anonymity. Both gold and cash undermine the efforts of the central planners.

The Masters of the Universe want total control of the economic universe. They want to be able to pull the levers they want to pull and you and your liberty just get in the way.

(From The Daily Bell)

In case of emergency, you should always have a solid chunk of cash on hand. These days, that isn’t much riskier than keeping your money in a bank.

There are stories of banks and governments suspending accounts for no legitimate reason. Furthermore, the interest rates at banks hardly give you much incentive to store your money there.

But as with anything that gives individuals more control over their lives, the government doesn’t like it. They want the ultimate control to cut you off from your economic power.

It’s bad enough that inflation robs you of the value of your money.

But Trump’s newest pick for the Federal Reserve board of governors wants to go even further. Marvin Goodfriend thinks there should be a robust negative interest rate placed on cash.

For example, if there was a -10% interest rate on cash, your $10 bill would actually be worth only $9. It is basically a penalty for using cash.

Welcome to the future.
