How many of you think interest rates are set by the free market? It seems to me there's quite a few on this website which seems crazy to me.
This is one of Ron Paul's biggest complaints. That the Fed and government are driving rates artificially low:

Just of the top of my head I can think of several ways in which the Fed/Govt drives rates:
1. Fed Funds rate.
2. QE (more than 3.5 trillion)
3. Federally guaranteed mortgages.
4.The fact that almost all the money loaned to the US govt is by the Fed and other governments and central banks.
5. Federally guaranteed student loans.
