Yeah vita, you're better off destroying people's arguments with dazzling wit & ice-cold logic, rather than personal insults."Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

"boosting the economy by reducing interest rates to encourage more people to borrow more money and dip into their equity to keep the whole thing going"

It has been at the heart of central bank policies across the world for the last 10 years (especially in the US - the 'Greenspan Put').
It's what I think is the most likely policy response to all this mayhem. Slash rates and hope that leveraged asset bubbles can prop up the economy. Why not? It worked in 1998 and 2000-2001.0 -

Course he is - didn't you notice that's what the BoE have been up to?"Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
