Negative Interest Rates Are On The Table

Yellen Says Fed Evaluating Possibility of Negative Rates in U.S. - Bloomberg Business

Yellen is trying to appease while markets sell off big time and meanwhile gold is exploding. This is how desperate the US economy is right now; it looks like they're going to take interest rates negative. It's hard for some people to comprehend even though rates are negative in Japan, Sweden, Switzerland etc. Can you imagine -2% interest rates?

You have $10,000 in your bank account and at the end of the year, you lose $200 in interest so you're left with $9,800. That's the reason they're so keen to ban cash ie they want your money trapped in the bank or spent so it helps boost economic activity.
