Skeeter, you pesky thing you! <g> Annoying all the nice folk here telling us things we JUST DO NOT WAN'T TO HEAR, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE TRUE! More power to you. I put you on ignore a while back when twenty of forty mesages were either to you or from you. Then I met a REAL A$$#@!& and began to respect that ignore is a feature akin to a five year old sticking her fingers in her ears humming and pretending that other opinions don't exist. I heard opined in a lecture that Greenspan cannot continue to raise interest rates because it weakens other currencies, and thereby trashes other economies, and that foreign companies become a more attractive buy, AND the U.S. alienates other countries economically and politically. But I was drunk at the lecture, and I'm not that bright anyhow, (evidence: I still own GSTRF <g>) so have I got it all screwed up and/or would you care to respond to the thesis above? You obviously have a much broader education and view than I. Yours and any other responses are welcomed, encouraged, solicited. Much thanks, joelle (business uneducated but not ineducable, i hope)

Hi Skeeter.... While reasonable people can disagree....at the very least you should be internally consistent in your arguments. this growth isn't economic - it a fantasy. in fact, the economy is growing (ex the fake numbers) about the same it grew in 1970 and 1980. Contrast your above statement with the following.... rates must be raised b/c the economy is strong. this is true. If the current strength of the economy is a statistical "fake"....then why do we need to raise rates? Slacker
