Hi at least people are working now and able to pay their extra commitment Under the Labour Party the rises were out of all propertions to the living standards and we had a bloody lot of unemployment . An extra hours work each fortnight will pay for this interest rise . I do not think that this rise was needed and it was only the Reserve Bank flexing its muscles Cheers Towie I think that Lower interest Rates Mean Lower Inflation but what would I know Cheers Towie
