the %$^$%^& (I have no word that adequately describes them at this stage) are trying to force those that had the good sense to save into the equity markets so they can be fleeced as well.....
why of course you would remove all your cash from the banks.......surely wouldn't you????
or perhaps they are hoping that people are so dumbed down and desesitised that they will see -0.25 as a better investment than -2.5 (or whatever), you know the spiel, less bad is the new good!!
