Payoff on Cheap Money and The Blue Sky Promoters
A critical analysis condemns promotion of cheap money and blue sky schemes used by politicians to justify deficits. It highlights the Life Insurance Institute data showing 1945 investment yields at 3.07 percent, down from prior years, and links these figures to higher costs for families and savers amid manipulated interest rates. The piece argues such policy harms widows, orphans, and the general public, urging readers to seek remedies against waste and manipulation.
