Donald has called Fed Chairman Powell "a Bonehead" for not lowering the prime interest rate even further in an attempt to forestall the impending business slowdown caused by Donald's boneheaded tariffs. He wants the Fed to lower the rate to Zero or less than Zero, a negative rate of interest.

It's my understanding that the interest rate my bank gives me on my savings is tied to the prime rate established by the Fed. If the Fed established a negative prime rate, would my bank pay me a negative rate of interest on my savings? Dose that mean that I would, in effect, be paying my bank to hold my money? Would I do that? Would anyone do that?

When and if my bank starts charging me interest to hold my savings, my hard earned cash will fit nicely under my mattress. I ain't no Bonehead, after all.
