Bernanke says consumer lending is necessary, his colleagues say raise interest rates. Here we go again. Which way do we go , which way do we go. If rates remain where they are, and inflation sets in, once again the FED will have waited too long once again. It seems as if no matter what is going on in our economy they are always 1, jeesh 3 steps behind.
So I say consumers worry about yourself, do what you think is right and forget the big guys out there. Your financial institutions really dont care about you— why should you care about them? Settle that credit card debt today!
