Markets set rates. The 10 year bond is just over 4%. What would you raise rates to - and what would be the effect? Any change in policy has to be gradual to allow for adjustment. One of the market effects of the trade deficit will be to raise rates as a means of attracting the money to pay. As that happens it will be a market driven solution.

Our family situation is one where we are now empty nesters. I have a few years to work and have pretty well set myself up for the duration. Any major change is not going to effect me - other than a chaotic collapse. I am concerned that policies be but in place that enable the economy to grow and provide opportunities for those on the bottom of the ladder or the youth just starting out.

Simplistic complaining without constructive alternate policy is meaningless. I personally see domestic investment in energy as one means of making a positive solution to the problems. It creates good jobs and it keeps money home. But alas - there is no movement in that direction.
