I'm still concerned that the defeated GOP is going to spend more time looking for somewhere to point the finger of blame than spending some much needed time looking in the mirror, though.

He or she likely does not hold any stocks and doesn't give a damn what interest rates are because they're already in hock up to their necks and don't want to have to borrow any more money. Plus, many of us who have good jobs are afraid of what would happen if we lose them. If a company outsources a bunch of jobs to India, it's stock will probably go up, but that doesn't help the people who now have to go out and get McJobs.
