Interest on time
Mar. 30th, 2009 09:43 amIt occurs to me we're missing a trick here.
Every March we lend an hour to the government, and every October we get it back. All well and good. But this is the age of business, of the sharp trader and the sweet deal. That hour is not working for us. We should set some kind of interest rate. In October we should get back, say an hour and five minutes, and there should be an option to put the five minuteses in some kind of investment account.
Mind you, with the current situation, I'm not sure why we're lending to the government at all.
Just a thought, and probably not original.
