Starting to hear rumbling in Motown about how the most recent batch of auto sales numbers (good ones) are being driven by credit.

And that being funded by the Fed's printing and bond buying. Nothing has been fixed.

Everyone says that but one thing is that Fed rates are a very small percentage of total US lending, and the other thing is that fed interest action usually happens after private rates (like the prime) move.

Governments don't control economies because they can't.

Fed bond buying ended in October 2014.
