What you're saying, then, is essentially that there is nothing intrinsically moral or immoral about raising interest rates.

It is moral to save the dollar and the country that depends on its stability.

And thus Ron Paul has a policy disagreement with Bernanke, not a moral one. It's disingenuous of him to try to make it a moral issue.

The power to change interest rates means "up" or "down." It could be moral to do either, depending on the situation.

Otherwise, the only "moral" act would be always to raise rates, and never lower them.

But heck ... in the context of Ron Pau, isn't it really quite ironic that we're having this discussion about which government action is needed to "save the dollar and the country?"
