rrman, You must have read my mind....in advance. I was sitting here wondering about "cut or not" and decided to sign on. Your post was the first one I read. I actually think there is a good chance for no cut. He can always do it between sessions. And I think you are right. You likes to keep his quiver full. best, Stitch

Um....isn't there some fantastic amount of short-term debt from Korea and elsewhere that was coming due? Seems to me the grand scheme is to restructure some of the debt at a lower short-term interest rate if the debtors can't pay market interest rates. Didn't the last cut coincide with the deadline for Korea's short-term debt? Was this one for Brazil? (hmm...sounds like Japan....) If it works for Joe Sixpack and his eleven credit cards at the debt consolidation company, it should work at a much grander scale. After all, the gov't loses huge tax revenue if the house of cards collapses.
