Pkrbkr, What is the point of raising rates? Just to have ammo later? Pretty much. If we're going to use monetary policy to ease recessions, we'll need to reload when the economy is doing better. Hey look! The economy is indeed doing better! Obama, Clinton, and their shills all across the nation only remind us of this every day. Better raise rates while we have the chance. Oh wait, it's not as strong as we'd like it to be? I am confuse. It will only screw those with adjustable rate debt which tends to be the lower end of the totem pole. The markets seem to be doing a pretty good job dealing with rates now. They'll be screwed over when the next recession hits and the Fed has to consider going into "negative rate" territory. Have you seen the news about George Soros essentially shorting the global markets? Doesn't look like he shares the same faith as you do. And he's a huge fan of Obama and Clinton. Tenchusatsu
