What is to debate? The Fed knows the banking system still needs life support. If they raise rates, more banks go under.

we are seeing a vote of no confidence in the market now due to interest rates that have done nothing to reduce the current bloodbath. There are no good solutions just worse one’s. A quarter point would make the dynamic at least understandable to foreign investors abroad, that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Right now a flat rate is supporting an artificial market that is a zombie at best and unsustainable at current market trends. Kill the zombies and move on baby!
