We're in a tough position right now though, we have so much debt that we have to print money otherwise we'll default on our loans/bonds.

Raising the rate just hurts the governments ability to pay back the money they are spending.

It's a really pickle we're in right now. We need to increase interest rates, but it's such a delicate issue. I don't think anyone really knows what the best outcome is.
