If rate cuts don't work, they will go for helicopter money - $800 and $1600 checks dropping from the sky. And if need be, a tax holiday for a whole year, no mortgage payments for a whole year (they do that for mattresses, why not for houses?!) and on and on.

Agreed. Also, we have not seen coupon passes since May. It's about time for a large one. -g-

I hope we get to 0% that way we can take the Fed out of the equation. We might even be able to see what a true free market is like then.

The deflationists are wringing their hands as the Fed pulls trick after trick after trick after trick after trick to goose up the stock-markets. Every time the deflationists proclaim that the Fed is powerless and has run out of tricks... presto! - the Fed pulls another rabbit out of the hat. :-D The deflationists react that the trick would not work and that the Fed is out of ideas. And then we start all over again! If only the deflationists argued that stocks will go down in terms of a tangible asset like gold, they would be dead right. But their argument is that stocks will go down in terms of paper pieces called dollar bills (that the Fed can print in TRILLIONS). That is why they will be dead wrong.
