Participant[quote=Bubblesitter]Well folks, we’re going to the show the next couple days.
I put a successful debt deal at 40% odds now, and if it happens it will not have enough cuts to placate the rating agencies.
A credit ratings cut will boost interest rates across the board and result in higher costs for everyone. Essentially a stealth tax.
I’m gonna be following the asian markets closely later this afternoon.
My prediction is that gold is gonna jump big time.
10 year treasuries yield will jump and mortgage rate will step up, as the 2 are highly correlated.
This may be the event that precipiates big problems.[/quote]
Rising interest rates only make costs higher for those who have debt. For those of us who have no debt, and who’ve been patiently (or not so patiently) watching and waiting for higher rates/lower costs this past decade, the low interest rate environment has felt like being pecked to death by ducks. It has royally sucked.
Bring on the higher interest rates…finally!!!!

ParticipantIt’s all good!…I have debt and I still want inflation. Of course I want my wife to stop changing the TV channel and then walking out of the room too. Doesn’t mean anything is gonna change. Jobs jobs jobs that is the answer. Why don’t we put pressure on the utility companies to put all the utility lines underrground in a timely manner. That would create jobs. I think putting our human resources to work in a meaningful way is what needs to be done. I have a job and I want everybody that wants a job to have one too. Why did I give my change to the homeless guy at McDonalds today? Because he held the door open for me coming and going. That’s a minor thing but it represents effort, and effort should be rewarded.

Agree, our entire focus should be on jobs.
Unfortunately, the rhetoric from the right says that lower tax rates will promote job growth. They won’t let the fact that there is NO evidence that lower tax rates promote job growth.
The rhetoric on the left isn’t any better…they say that piling more debt onto an already unsustainable pile of debt will magically fix things.
We will never dig ourselves out of this hole until someone has the balls to talk about global wage arbitrage (and everything that entails) in a serious way.
