So what would be the market reaction to a 1% cut Tuesday? It's already priced in over the next couple of Fed meetings - why not do it all at once and get ahead of the curve?

Would the market tank on that news? Isn't the third rate cut supposed to be a charm? Don't fight the FED?

I am somewhat surprised that he threw his hat into the fiscal policy ring. Rare for him to day anything about anything <g>.

He's super cautious, as witnessed in his recent moves and his obsession with inflation, so I have to side with him on the tax cut situation, however. He obviously finds an assault on the surplus to be greater from spending increases instead of tax cuts. I tend to agree with that.

I just wish he was more of a supply sider when it comes to monetary policy. The new economy is fundamentally different today, imo, from 20 years ago. We have to roll with the punches and take a pro-growth stance and not worry so much about a 0.04 rise in the price of toilet paper (or the CDN dollar.... what ever is available <g>).

PS: Back to more fun things... ya watchin the game? Mo looks pretty good. See if they last longer than a NAZ rally <g>.
