I have yet to determine a reliable way of knowing what A.G.'s real message is _ ever.
But he said something to the effect that car and home sales recently weren't as bad as they had been late last year. So, yes, he probably doesn't want to cut too much, too soon.
On that score, I think he's right. Lower rates may help, but they can't, by themselves, solve all problems.
As for the politicians' blind trusts, I did get a chuckle. Hey, maybe they should be worried. A congresswoman from New York asked him about money supply based on a story she had read in Barron's.
No wonder she's confused.<g>

<OT, maybe even for this thread>, but I have to laugh....

The new leader of the free world addresses the nation. Leaders of other nations 'round the world listen intently for any clue as to future military or economic strategy.
Saddam Hussein is watching CNN on a TV set with a clothes hanger serving as an antenna.
All are on the edges of their chairs.
The new leader calmly explains: "As Yogi Berra once said, when you come to the fork in the road, take it."
Translators quickly try to explain what that means in Arabic.
Who is this Yogi Berra?
A great military general?
A naval commander?
What is this? Some kind of new, secret code?
LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!
