Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79302659 Best part of inflation is borrowing money today at low rates and paying it back tomorrow with money that is worth less than the money you borrowed yes sir, seems op said democrat in charge so bad. low interest rates cause more inflation though. the problem is weaning the financial fraudsters off the cheap loans. Seems like if they try to raise interest rates the stocks drop every time. |

Higher interest rates would be good for the country, Treasury Secretary Yellen says Can't pay all of its own debt obligations and the market tanks if it raises the interest rates. It has painted itself into a corner it can't get out of. Can't lower them any further and can't raise them either. If it could raise the interest rates it would have done it long long ago. They are practically zero right now. |

Higher interest rates would be good for the country, Treasury Secretary Yellen says The interest rates should have never gotten below 4%. When they did, it inflated everything to what we have today. The next biggest bust is upon us... Quoting: Swingline Everyone who said that the housing market will continue as it has been going... A 2% jump in mortgage rates will bring this house inflation to a screeching halt. |
