    They're still up there, ready to trickle down with everything else.

    Ace, I assure you, it is more risky to be an employee than an employer in this country. In the absence of unions, there are no safeguards to employment or for employees - outside of the fact that employers are required by law to provide an environment that is safe and they are no longer allowed to strap a yoke around an employee's neck and use them as pack labor. Okay, they can but the employee has to sign off on it first.

    I sense a deep distrust in your fellow man, Ace.
    *May the force be with you*:)

    We are nowhere near stagflation so I fail to see the relevance. Bond rates only go down in recessions when the country's ability to repay its debt is not in question. If anyone in the market expected the US to default or inflate its debt away, the interest rates wouldn't be so low. The fact that they aren't means that your little rants about government spending are not based on reality.
