I guess they won't be able to raise interest much from the real current negative -6.6 interest rate.
No wonder the stock market is surging once again with those real -6.6% interest rates.
What household, business and government would not want to go into more debt with those -6.6% "real" interest rates.
I wonder if the federal reserve and their -6.6% "real" interest rates are going to reduce that 9.1% inflation rate which would be much higher if they counted inflation like other countries or like they counted inflation when Carter was in office.
Corporate debt was 10 trillion dollars in 2010 and now it is 18.9 trillion
Household debt was 14 trillion dollars in 2009 and now it is 18.3 trillion
Federal government debt is 26 trillion dollars, but I have seen numbers that are far higher than that but the federal reserve claims it is 26 trillion.
State and local governments have 3.2 trillion dollars in debt but I don't believe they are accounting for the unfunded pension liabilities.
