7. Corporations can borrow money

and do things like buy other companies or stock buy backs. When interest rates were low the last time, it was a corporate feeding frenzy. Of course this leads to high inflation when we are not in a repression and the economy doesn't need to be juiced.
It also swings savings away from safe interest bearing accounts and CDs and to stocks.
It's bad for people with savings, but great for the rich and the stock market.
