TOKYO ( Reuters ) - Japan's central bank is looking increasingly lonely in its campaign to raise interest rates from zero as
opponents ranging from the powerful Finance Ministry to the U.S. Treasury Secretary gang up against it.

growth cycle.

ho ho ho, Larry worried they might cut off the BUBBLE FUEL...
