HI Rick, I take that as a way to reduce the Dollar - we do have the highest rates globally and it impairs out growth, but hurts pensions, so it is a double edged sword. When the Dollar is reduced - it is a boost to the emerging markets. The growth of emerging markets is essential for demand growth of commodities. Demand growth of commodities will raise their price. A rise in commodities will give us the desired inflation. I think this rate cut is more about not letting everyone else have cheap debt and a weak currency. We're listening to Trump, who wants to fight fire with fire on the currency side of things. Just guessing. Bob
