Rates should be cut because the Fed is manipulating them to be much higher than what the market would charge based on their false premise that economic growth causes inflation.
If a person believes more in free markets than elite academics seeking to please the Swamp, then he should be for the rate to be cut to the market level.

Much has been written about the need for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, even beyond the July cut, the first one in eleven years.
Great statistic, except...
Between 2008 and 2015, the Fed kept the rate at zero.

Rates are already extremely low and the economy is better then its been in many years. Jobs for just about anyone willing to work, too.

Give me 0% auto financing and I may buy a new car. Will that help the economy?

Another moron who doesn’t realize the US interest rates, currency and bonds can only be evaluated in comparison with other developed nations, not some US timescale. It’s not the 1970s.

That plus the Arab Oil Embargo led to the double digit inflation of the mid 70's, the stagflation of the late 70's, and the "MISERY INDEX".
