But who does it really benefit and who does it hurt! Again 99% of people just want to make interest on their meager savings. Quoting: MyPillow If we have the highest stock market ever, why lower it? Boy, if the economy tanks, no interest rates left to lower to save it.,,, It's a great idea. He should abolish the fed altogether but we know that won't happen. If the money keeps flowing at low interest the economy keeps moving. Trump should force negative interest on them and make them pay the national debt. The price to pay to exist in the USA. |

It allows corporations to borrow cheap and buy back their stocks to boost the price. But sucking capital out from the real economy into the casino on wall street isn't good for mainstreet. It's funny how this used to be a conspiracy website and people understood the lies spread by wall street, lies that said they were the creator of prosperity. The capital markets were never ever the creator or driver of an economy, they are supposed to act as a means of capital formation and price discovery. They are neither now, they are rigged up distorted, bloated obese abominations of all that is evil about this system of crony capitalism we mistakenly identify as 'free markets'. None of this is free you're all paying with your very lives. |

I think that the key word is INFLATION. lots and lots of INFLATION. some of today's talking heads claim that we are in low inflation, meanwhile rent and food steadily rise. poor people clearly see it, but nuts on tv say that it is not happening because their glorious "portfolios" are growing. |

Keeping the rates artificially low, however, is not a good thing. What should happen is that the Federal Reserve should be dissolved, and the responsibility put back in the hands of Congress, where it **LEGALLY** belongs. |

However, if we wind up doing that, we'll need to enact a mandatory IQ test for Congress....with most of the idiots we have in Congress right now, I wouldn't trust them with a nickel.
