"You have to understand that in the world of truly elite economists, everyone knows everyone. Many of them went to the same schools, and they regularly talk at conferences, in private meetings, and by phone and email. I can guarantee you that they are talking about if and when it might be necessary for the US to go down the path of negative interest rates. The policy makers are not committed to following that path, but they are certainly talking about it. When they tell us it’s an option, we need to take them seriously."

he is right about the upper echelon of these academic types and policy makers knowing each other

it is a small world and those people havent truly worked a day in their life; yet their math models tell them they are better at managing money than the worker

if anyone is to blame for hindering the economy its them

No: it will be conficated...ah that is put into the safety of treasury bills...for your own good. IRA's are the low hanging fruit, about 18 trillion, just sitting there.
Then comes hyperinflation

Well maybe if everyone flees cash like they hope, they have to put money somewhere so financial assets like the stocks in your 401k may actually go up more.
