Surely this will stimulate the economy. Yet the mere mention of a rate hike yesterday sent the stock market into a nose dive. Hardly good for consumer confidence. Just seems that no matter what happens it is all doom and despair.<br /><br />And what about the national debt. Is either candidate going to tackle that? They would have to be brave. We had a state premier in Qld a few years back who was elected on his promise to cut the state debt. Yet he was kicked out at the next election for doing just that. It seems paying your debts is uncomfortable and rather than pay, people prefer to blame someone for it, put their head in the sand and just keep sucking the welfare tit.
