I totally agree.

In fact, I think an arbitrary raising of rates might be stimulative to the economy overall. Savers would have more disposable income, and fence sitters might jump off and buy a piece of real estate. Businesses might even go ahead and borrow to put their expansion plans in gear. And the banking system would be healthier and more productive. These guys aren't looking to lend aggressively with rates of return so low relative to risk.

There's a lot of 'wait and see' right now in this economy, I think.
