War on savers

Inflation is eating away at your money faster than a normal savings plan will grow it. Bottom line, it now costs money to save. Seriously, how did we get into this mess? (That's a rhetorical question).

If increasing savings in the US was difficult before, it is actually counterproductive now. There is actually no point to save. This is great news for fans of foreign deficits

Here's the money quote on how depressing the situation has become:

"As I pointed out last week, one of the few things you can do easily to avoid this trap (inflation) is to buy some of your family's non-perishable foods, like pasta and canned foods, ahead of time and in bulk. Their prices are rising much faster than your savings are growing in the bank."
