The plan...calls for an annual tax of 3% to 5% on all savings and time deposits in the country

That is just idiocy!

The Federal Reserve floated a trial balloon about a month ago stating that this would be one strategy for increasing the velocity of money in the event of deflation.

The other strategy would be to place a date/time stamp on Federal Reserve Notes that would have the face value of the FRN decrease over time. A $20 bill held too long would decrease in value, for example, to $15.

They're trying it in Japan first.
