Econ. 06/19/2012 - Why Punish the Savers?

1. Savers are angry because their savings are not worth as much anymore due to inflation.

2. The federal government shouldn’t allow this to happen because it affects a lot of people.

3. I agree that the federal government should at least make a long term commitment so that people know their money is somewhat safe.

4. Can you find a counter-argument/another argument to this article? After you read it, which one supports your beliefs more?

5. I learned that the federal government is in charge of all the money and whether the value goes up or down.

6. The fed needs to have a better system because I don’t think its right that people have to go through this. These people in the fed are not even elected and they are making big decisions. It is not okay that people who have worked all their lives to save up all this money all of a sudden lose so much money.

7. Make sure to double check all your responses in your blog for punctuation errors (spelling, commas, periods, run-on sentences…)
