I don't see interest rates going up anytime soon. The fed tried that and a handful of quarters later is reversing course.

We know that debt will grow the economy, but it certainly seems like households are debt-saturated at this point.

I agree, it doesn't seem politically possible with the current government to continue raising rates.
