A free market system would have no such thing as a central bank that could set interest rates.

What you are watching is the oligarchy fixing the economy to their own benefit and everyone else’s detriment.

"Attempting to fix the economy", I would say. All they are doing is putting off the inevitable. Just because someone is damning up the river for their own benefit, you can't stop the waters forever.

Riddle me this...Why are higher interest rates good for the stock market? They aren’t and yet any news propels this fake Stock Market higher. Inflation should be good for Gold and yet the Cartel that controls gold and silver prices keeps them depressed. Also, higher debt costs balloon US borrowing costs which increases the deficit. Screwy world where up is down and down is up.

Exactly--while pretending to be acting in the public interest--they are sociopaths, pure and simple.
