KendallHarmon: Thanks for the thought provoking article on interest rates. So the boys around the country wearing FED and analyst hats think that it may very well take a 7.5% rate to "get the job done"? Mmmm. Around my way when rates go from 5.5-7.5%...a better than 40% increase...that's inflationary all by itself...it increases the price we all have to pay for money. There's also the question of the "price" of money and the availability of money. Last time I saw a chart of money supply growth it was scary, a lot of money was being introduced into the economic stream by the Treasury/Fed joined-at-the-hip combine...and a precursor, almost always, to an increase in the "general level of prices." I suggest strongly that higher interest rates alone will not solve the FED's perceived problem. It should be accompanied by a leveling off of money-supply growth. They go together...like a "horse and carriage"...this I tell you brother. (Lee)
