Here’s the deal - a great indicator of how the economy is doing are interest rates - rates are now and have been for years at the very bottom with economy activity the only reason to increase them - that has not happened.

Anyone with some savings is getting screwed by Obama.

Interest rates would likely be where they are regardless of who is President. That’s not to say that there aren’t problems that are directly attributable to the present administration, there are, for instance healthcare insurance. I’d love to earn something more than a pittance on the savings that I’ve managed to hang onto, but realistically that isn’t going to happen for some time.

Savers are being punished at the expense of speculators to help Wall Street and the mega-banks.
