Bill - fodder for the Chronicles of Mania:

"It is good that interest rates are rising. The rates are killing off the old indolent inefficient rust bucket 19th century leftover corporations whose continuing existence has been held together only by a benign environment. It would take an instantaneous fed funds rate of 30% to slow the new economy corporations because that's what their effective growth rate of wealth is."

I like it. It's good that the rest of the economy (the one that runs on money) is being killed off, because it's old and rusty; make room for the new profitless economy!

I also admire the somewhat counterintuitive proportional relation between growth rates and interest rates: hey, if my company is growing 30% a year, what's the fuss about a quarter point raise in some funds rate? I want this guy for president!
