    Greenspan Says U.S. May Soon Reach Borrowing Limit



    Really, huh, well I believe that point was reached long ago, you know, when the feds were forced to buying treasuries.



    Get ready for 20% rates peeps....Obama did a good job, for his masters.

    I just don't see how we can avoid higher rates. The fed funds rate should be about 6% now and will eventually go up to possibly 20%. Rates that high are bad for government and private sector borrowing but is good for savings and investments. Which in turn will provide banks with capital inflows to support business development without government stimulus bills.

    No one wants to borrow from the banks. If they can afford to they can get better rates outside of the banking system and if they can't afford it the banks won't lend to them.

    But borrowing outside the banks is being dis-incentiveized. Check out the new restrictions on angel investors
