EU Brexit & The Economic Update So, the main law of capitalism is that the investment pays returns on it, otherwise who is going to invest anything into something that does no benefit or does not pay the interest on the investment, a dividend. Thus, according to these principles, the amount of savings should grow in time and not diminish. In 1981-82, at the beginning of the Ronald Reagan Administration, the inflation rate was at about 15% while the interest rates were at 18%, 3% difference floating above the going inflation rate, which means the savings are protected from being gobbled up by the inflation. However nowadays, as i have written in The Economic Update note, the inflation is at least 5% above the current interest rates that hover just above zero, meaning that all the middle class savings, RRSPs, etc are being steadily devalued, basically a robbery in the broad daylight, while no mainstream media would talk about it at any great length if at all. The problem with EU, as is with the rest of the industrialised, developed world currently under the internationalist's grip, is that while the banksters with their elite cronies are sucking out all the honey out of the national economies, along with wreaking a havoc with the open borders policies, which saturates already weak labour market that is also competing for the jobs in the ever mechanised, computerised work force, without giving the members of their so-called union enough to stay alive on, never mind prosper, or even to satisfy their own internationalist's UN Universal Declaration Of Human Rights, article 25 to be specific... The problem with EU, therefore, is the answer of their failure, flaw, it is clear -- the Guaranteed Minimum Income should have been accompanying the open borders immigration policies in the EU, which would have not only satisfied the moral and legal requirements of EU to its members, but would have also made the EU members actual investors in their union, instead of only very few rich ones. So no wonder that the EU and UN are what they are today -- a big mess caused by the greed of the evil ruling elite.
