As the economy gets better the FED will up the rates to combat inflation. Which is "good" to a point. However, the housing industry will slow down in the next couple of years. I guess it's just the way economics work. Unemployment should not rise sharply. Keeping taxes down is the main way to do that. I have enough work to hire another person. I pay enough in taxes to hire 2 more people. I would rather give my money to them than the government. Here, Here!!
