<<<<< Higher interest rates would be a big mistake IMO. Rates are still too high>>>>

I assume you mean the rates controlled by the fed? I would respectfully disagree. If Europe tanks - a very real possibility - the fed is going to need every single measure left in their admittedly diminished arsenal. Of course it doesn't need be Europe - it could be any Black Swan. ..........Those aren't the rates we need worry. It is the undetermined rates that would be acceptable to those who finance our government; China and Japan. They don't have to loan us money AND people seem to be under the misperception that China will continue to loan to us under our terms forever. Huh! If China for whatever reason becomes less willing to fund our government, rates go up. Once rates start to move, they could escalate in a very big way. All IMHO.
