| Survey Says!
T
he CyberPoll last week focused on interest rates. Of the total respondents, the majority (73.7%) believe that interest rates are artificially low. A smaller majority (57.9%) think that the zero interest rate will lead to inflation, and the same number (57.9%) believe that it's time for the Fed to boost the rate. One reader commented, "The Fed needs to get out of the way and let the interest rate adjust to what the market requires. Failure to do so is like using a new credit card to make payments on another card that you can't make the payments on. The current situation is unsustainable." Another said, "If the Fed was to boost rates now, it would put the economy into a death
spiral & increase gov't debt, as they are the biggest borrowers." Follow this link to see more reader comments, or to add some of your own. |
