I wonder if the FED is actually going to be able to keep cutting rates. Politics clearly plays a role in their decisions. The aging population in the USA can see their savings going down the drain as the dollar sinks. This view is politically important too.

Just to follow up my comments above about the dollar. This Bloomberg article says that the dollar is now replacing the yen in the carry trade!

@happyrenterz: Well done on finding that article! If the Fed cuts rates any further, they'll find themselves becoming the carry-trade currency of choice. This will mean severe and rapid devaluation. Could the US ever go the way of Japan? Would that necessarily be a bad thing?
