Say WHAT???

Under the headline "Iceland Slashes Rates, Seeks Rusian Help", Reuters is reporting that Iceland's central bank is aggressively attacking their financial crisis by slashing interest rates from 15.5% to 12%.

HUH??

Can things really be bad in America when our Fed Funds rate is 1.75?

Or is this why things are so bad?

15.5%? Are you sure? The Russians?
