I am simply and utterly flabbergasted.

“Zero interest rates will encourage people to Invest rather than Lend.”

Really? Are you sure about that? You should go back to Econ 101. Low interest rates encourage borrowing not saving. Period. No if’s, and’s, or but’s about it.

And JAPAN??? What rock have you been living under? Japan is a text book example of why we SHOULD NOT have zero interest rates. Rampant Inflation? Have you ever heard of the Yen Carry Trade? And talk about growth… They have been in and out of a recession 9(NINE) times since 1994.
