Are you saying the fed ought to be raising interest rates now? What's the point of this point?

It's called tough love.

Jack the rates up to like 10% and kill the stock market and economy. IMMEDIATELY the excesses of the economy will be wiped out and a fast recovery can begin to take place within a few years.

The alternative is a Depression lasting for many years. Because by keeping rates low and hope alive, many of the excesses will take what seems like forever to be taken care of.

I think we do the latter due to poor policy of lowering rates and the fact that no one in Washington would take the tough love approach.

JMHO
