... in to buying our bonds, etc. as good investments for the future. I hope it works, but I won't be here then. But why do we have to keep on paying our own government any interest on our own borrowed money? THIS AFFECTS ALL OF US N O W !! My suggestion: stop paying any interest on the money the Treasury Department gives or gets -- as the case may be -- to the Federal Reserve Banks?? Just STOP giving them any more interest. For a period of, say, the next 500 years? Would it make a difference? Also, stop giving those bank executives any salaries.
