Should point out that China's demand for raw materials will fall rather sharply if US consumer demand for China finished goods drops. Probably but a 1/4 point raise in interest rates isnt going to do beans about it. If it does do beans about it, then what will it do to housing besides KILL it? You can't have it both ways. Now it could kill housing but not basic goods, all of which come from china. In other words the worst possible outcome for Greenspan or whoever hikes. Already we see a slowdown of buying at wallmart. Might not a hike push it (consumer spending) over the cliff? If we were responsible we would not have cut rates 13 times in the fisrt place. Now we have a bigger mess for sure. M
