People with mortgages on houses they never should have bought that was not within their means is causing seniors to NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR BILL with the new TOO FAST TOO LOW interest rates. Doesn't anyone consider that seniors who live on this income are loser's BIG TIME with cost of everything going up, income going DOWN and yet we pay taxes on this interest income too. You can do something to ENCOURAGE the feds not to lower rates again next week. we need help too. C. McCrady, Oklahoma City OK
