mish, Don't you know anything? If we raise rates, foreigners will buy our bonds. Bonds are printed on paper. We are a major paper pulp exporter and will not allow Aracruz and those nasty Brazilians into the bond scamming biz. Ergo, paper exports soar just because of higher rates. <G>

Low interest rates are causing a severely maladjusted economy. Easy monetary policy is very much the cause of this. I've discussed this a lot, so I'm perplexed at your question, which I consider a non sequitur. I guess you're asking me because you've missed, or just ignore the dozens if not hundred of posts I've made about this? I view ultra low interest rates as destructive, you apparently view it as "stimulative". Your view (and the Fed's) is just flat out wrong, it's a failed model, and we are seeing proof of it every day.
