Re: Perspectives on the global economic changes
It was in jest TSJ. Loans and credit card rates will go up after a rate hike. It is obvious and you just stated the obvious. I found it funny. I think what was supposed to be known was a sneak peak into the future. Oh my God! the human mind and the desire to know the future. Lol.
