Exports will increase. However, the price of oil will hurt.

From a dollar crisis? None. They are short term thinkers, so
they decided to bail out bankers under political pressure,
trying to yap to support the dollar. Tough yapping and a 50 bp
cut just don't go together, the dollar is dropping. 78.80 now.

The Fed tried to TALK tough, while cutting 50 bp. They just
lost all credibility. Now tough talking won't work.
This is very dangerous imho. Treasuries
are getting sold today along with stock futures and the
dollar. This might just be the beginning of the HELL to follow:
10-15% 10-year rates, DOW=5000, USDX = 40. Trade deficit
number will sure be bad with oil hitting 82. How much treasury
paper do foreigners hold? Most of it.

They would rather save their buddies short term. A weaker dollar will increase our work force participation and foreign investment in the country.

The main goal this time around is to steepen the yield curve...So far, it's worked.
