The Fed CAN'T raise interest rates.

If they raise the rates, they're raising the rates on the 17-trillion the feral government owes.

Bingo. That is the dirty little secret that almost no one grasps. Either that, or they pretend not to. That is also why I expect interest rates to go negative.

Negative interest rates are a wealth tax without the Government having to bother to pass legislation.
