Thomas Hoenig Is Fed Up - BusinessWeek: "Another reason Hoenig wants to end super-low interest rates is that Wall Street banks and large corporations are currently able to borrow for almost nothing and either hoard cash, make acquisitions, or invest in long-term Treasuries for a guaranteed profit. Retirees and other bank depositors effectively subsidize this borrowing and earn almost nothing on their savings. 'It's a distortion, and it favors the large institutions over the smaller ones and Wall Street over the saver,' Hoenig says in an interview. 'I just don't like it. It's not fair.'"
