ParticipantThat’s just great Helicopter boy, because it worked like a charm last time. Plus there really aren’t enough US dollars floating around the world these days, and it’s not like trillions of ARM’s are going to reset in the coming years either.
In hindsight would it have been better to raise rates, flush out the bad debt, over-leveraged financials, and hit the bottom quicker than slow and painfully?

ParticipantYeah, WTF…. Is our country ran by a bunch of monkeys?
If we creat a World War and bomb the crap out of everyone, will it eliminate our debt obligations?

ParticipantIn hindsight would it have been better to raise rates, flush out the bad debt, over-leveraged financials, and hit the bottom quicker than slow and painfully?
I don’t know and neither do you.
A fast bottom might incite a panic and create a much bigger mess. Slow squeezing the debt away via inflation might be a better solution.
