  1. I'm somewhat uncomfortable with a centralised agency manipulating national, and subsequently, global banking and transactions in this way. Perhaps it's my ignorance, but this feels like putting your finger on the scales to compensate for a poorly managed economy in other areas. Surely when the Fed lowers interest rates, America is losing that money? If it is doing so to compensate for Trump's foolish trade war for instance, it feels like stealing money from Americans by the back door.

  6.  @DanA-nl5uo  No, you snarky prick. I had no idea that that WAS a credit bubble nor that it was caused by the Fed lowering interest rates. Especially as this video said that crash was NOT caused by the Fed.

  10. @Bill H So wouldn't a better solution be simply to restrict who banks can lend to so that people only spend within their means?

  11. Surely a reduction in interest rates affects your mortgage and loan repayments as well?
