all things being equal i'd rather low rates and having a job than high rates and having or not having a job.
Wouldn't we all:D.
How would you like low rates and no job?low rates are not a magic wand but will make things much easier for those in debt.
If they have a job or do not have to take a massive wage cut.RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.

Better than high rates and no job which would affect more if rates went up.

No one as said that, why do HPC croud always go on about a magic wand.
WE ARE IN RECESSION RATES NEED TO GO DOWN FOR THE STABILITY OF OUR BUSIESSES!.(even your saviour Vince Cable says so)
Jobs will go but the forever moaning of the HPC crowd wising for higher rates so more people become redundant is beyond belief.
You may wish for someone to lose their home so you can get it cheap but I don't I want as many people to retain their job as possible.
Dress it up how you wish but it is plain to see what you want like so many other.:rolleyes:

I did but, you just show no acknowledgement that lowering rates is better for the economy going in to recession and lowering the amount of people becoming unemployed, failing businesses etc.MissMoneypenny wrote: »I don't think you even read my post you quoted.

i think regardless if you have a job - lower rates will be of benefit, but you know this already.
there will be job losses unfortunately and they are inevetible - everyone even them would rather be paying 3.5% instead of 5.5% on their debt. a no brainer.
ps. before anyone picks up on future lending rates 3.5% and 5.5% are examples - i have no idea what rate cuts will be passed onto borrowers.0 -

You think more people will lose their job if they cut rates than increasing them.
