Yes, the Fed caused this mess by setting the price of credit too low for too long, feeding the cancer of debt dependency. But we are in the eye of the storm now. This is not a time for priggery.

if this is trus, should the Feds be reasing the rate ?

I seem to recall japan tried to get out of their mess by having zero interest...how did that work out ?

Wll. Bernanke is smarter than the Japs. You see, if you cause the sub prime debacle by printing money, then the cure must be to print money.
