The Interest-Rate Hike

"It's about time Greenspan got off his duff and did something other than sit around the office all day analyzing market indicators."
Justin Fillmore,

"As long as the rate hike makes it tougher for terrorists to afford the tools of terror, I'll support it."
Michael Eighmy,

"Perfect. Just perfect. First my wife leaves me, then my son dies in a car accident, and now this?"
Tony Fields,
Audiologist
"Classic move by the Fed Chief there. Man, Greenspan—gotta love him."
Jason Forst,
Performer
"The lenders should fight the Feds and refuse to raise the rates. Come on, America. We can do this."
Christine Cain,

"How does the Federal Reserve sleep at night? More to the point, how does it stay awake during the day?"
