That is the whole liberal philosophy in a nutshell: make the govt in charge.
Right now the rates are so low the fed is impotent.
The low rates are killing the middle class retirees who did all the right things and rewarding all those who don't do the right things. Retirees who saved during their lifetimes used to be able to put that money into CDs and supplement their social security and pensions, if they had one. Now with low rates they have to use the principal and the money is gone in no short order.
Also the low rates have created massive malinvestment in real estate. Pricing has gone out of this world with money costing so little and when rates do climb people will find their mortgages becoming very expensive and the value of their property declining. In investment real estate the problem is even worse. Because investors can't find a return for their money they are now forming groups that buy multi family apt. bldgs and have driven the prices up to the point that there is no return on investment unless you have no debt, or convert the property to condo's. These bubbles will pop and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.
It all could have been avoided, but that would have ment letting those banks that bought and sold bad MBS's live with the consequences of their stupidity. Now we will all suffer.
