I love it when I read an intelligent post.
PS. You know what bugged me? Remember they were talking about sub primes and how these people's monthy bills went up big time?
Well after that, the Fed kept lowering rates more, and more, and more. So I thought that the people who had sub prime rates monhtly bills were being lowered too. But I found out that is/was not the case.
Why didn't the Fed lower the home owners rates back to what they were before they went up? That would have solved the problem.
So is it any wonder we think it was on purpose. Bernake kept lowering the interest rates for the banks but they weren't passing it on to the customer.
To me, it seems like they wanted this mess to happen. They made money on the way up, and the government bailed them out on the way down.
Have you discussed this with Obama? Have you asked him why Bernanke is still at the Fed?
Have you done a damn to alleviate the problem ?
Yes, No and Yes.
Then I recommend that you do Question B and let us know what he says.
