"bond vigilantes aren't going to be pushed around by the fed" Not just the bond vigilantes, the gold vigilantes too. You would think BB would have made plans to keep gold and bonds in line but maybe enough dissent out there to start things bulging at the seams. I keep expecting to wake up one morning and hear panicked voices on CNBC talking about a run on the dollar.

<<"This is a pretty blatant bailout for excessive risk-taking over the past few years," said Robert Macintosh, chief economist at Eaton Vance Management in Boston.>> This stuff is like the OJ Simpson coverage. Too much discussion over something of so little meaning..half a point does little other than help financial institutions with net interest spreads.. Sounds like a lot of people are pissed either cause they were caught short or have lots of money in interest bearing accounts.. Now if Ben takes it down to 1-2% that would be a blatant attempt at a bailout of excess risk taking..
