    Why?

    This is the way these people are thinking and it will play out this way whether it's stupid or not.

    The bond market has turned, so I'm expecting a tightening bias on interest rates and all that entails (recession, housing downturn?)

    Why?because I've heard it all before, it's madness, it won't work and as you say it will play out this way anyway. I don't need to read more shit. I'm depressed enough about the central planning fools as it is.

    It's about time they stopped manipulating the price of current/future spending.

    The whole concept of using interest rates as a means of controlling the economy is deeply flawed. The government does not "control" interest rates at all. They simply react to what is happening. Even if the Reserve Bank came out tomorrow and declared it will not raise interest rates for 10 years, interest rates would still rise.
