Raising rates awhile ago would have been the perfect thing to do. Maybe too late now. State that rates were going to go up. Those sitting on the fences would have moved and bought big ticket items. With rates up, those who were once retired could retire again opening up employment opportunities for others.

It sure is. Stocks plummet, CD cons take break from blaming Obama to celebrate others' misery. (Also buy more guns and gold for good measure.)

You don't think CD Conservatives like myself own stock? You don't think we're involved in the stock market? Have retirement plans, 401Ks, pensions?

Are you really that stupid?
