    Why does the great Fed Chairman always sound like a seven year old "explaining" why he was reaching in the cookie jar?

    In that short clip, Benanke was correct, surprisingly. The interest rate isn't a big of a deal as compared to the debt that is being racked up each year. $100B more in interest payments a year isn't nearly as bad as $1T more in debt. Too bad Congress seems unable to grasp that...

    Yeah but if interest rates on the 10 year were more like 5%, that would make an immense difference. I'd agree that around the margins it's not material, but it can grow unwieldy quite quickly.
