Fred....there are more problems that the FED wants to admit, and we are only seeing the beginning of the slowdown. Rate cuts will help to reverse things, but it often takes about 6 months for the rate effect to trickle through the system. Also, I don't think a 1% rate cut is enough.. Our economy was on a fast train that needed to be slowed, but the problem was that we needed a lot of brakes to stop the train. All those rate increases helped, but now we have the problem of an overinflated economy coming back to earth. It's like throwing a ball in the air. Once it starts coming back down it takes more and more force to slow the decent. I also think there are a lot more problems than what simple rate decreases can fix easily.
