[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 517671"] Inflation (using the idiotic formulas that they use) is below the Fed's target, the market is wobbly, and the Fed not only raised rates anyway yesterday, they said they're going to continue to raise rates a few more times. For the long term health of our economy, interest rates should be miles higher than where they are today. That would require a very deep and short recession to affect that change. But the resulting flushing out of malinvestment would give us a much healthier economy going forward. That's a different thread for a different day. Going back to where we are today, this continual raising of interest rates when debt bubbles and spending levels were so high is exactly the same crap the Fed did the last time around. Then we ran into a debt crisis with subprime loans and everything else as people struggled to make payments. Then they start spending less and the downward spiral continues. The Fed is working very hard to cause that exact same problem again. Hang on to your hats! [/QUOTE]
