I am confused. The BoC kept the bank rate @ .5%. It would only do that if the economy was in bad shape. We now have reports that GDP is performing well. This why simple fellows do not like 'experts'. FD: I think the economy is doing well and a .5% bank rate is too low. Infrastructure spending is necessary but given the lack of extra capacity funds needed should be from new taxes and not deficits. I am not only a simple fellow but I would not a successful politician.
