Especially considering that, after half a decade, the hyperinflation/dollar debasement fears of the gold-bugs/libertarians resulting from quantitative easing alone can be dismissed out of hand?

I don't think government price fixing is something he is too terribly interested in. Only our masters and the sheep that follow their every word would think lowering interest rates by force is a good idea. And you can dismiss fears about the dollar after 5 years? I guess it doesn't bother you. I assume you get a government paycheck with cost of living raises. Most of us don't though.BoatShoes;1377946 wrote:Suppose interest rates were at 2% right now.

Elected officials / central planners / radical idealogues / abusers of executive power / tyrants disarming their citizenry.
Other than that .... few similarities; we agree.
