From: Keith Monahan Wednesday, Dec 13, 2000 2:16 PM ET Reply # of 600 Is there any method of determining how the high debt ratio of the consumer combined with lack of savings could affect our economy? If one assumes lower interest rates promotes growth then the question could also be have did we not create of artificial growth due to future evaluations that made no sense. The net would of required doubling of consumer buying ability to create that kind of prosperity in our economy, it fractured all numerical basis in my mind that adhered to the principle of supply and demand. Are there mathematical equations that could prove that there is a base of growth that is sustainable and not interest tinkered with to create balloons? I think what i am trying to figure out is how lowering the rates will do much other than continue or stretch out the truth our economy has already inflated to the point where contraction is going to prove the word gradual not at all gradual.
