Will the Fed Lower Interest Rates?

Although retail sales and big corporations might be putting up big numbers the vast majority of would be home owners are finding themselves priced out of the market by rising interest rates and the huge run up in home prices over the last five years.  If the fed doesn't think it's their there role to aid in Americans being able to achieve the American dream, what are we paying them for?  The problem with Academics like Bernake is they lack real world experience and think the answers are in a text book and this is some kind of experimental research project they can later theorize about after the fact. 

Meantime real hard working people in this country are struggling with the cost of just getting by.  Don't get me started on the myriad of other problems we're facing.  I say let's wake up Greenspan and have him come give the economy a swift kick in the pants.  Maybe some real world experience can steer us out of dangerous waters.
