Unemployment is near a 50-year low. Inflation has slowed. Real wages — what paychecks can actually buy — have risen.Why stifle these gains by keeping interest rates high to slow the economy?All that does is punish workers and risk a recession.Time for the Fed to cut rates.

@p Only a commentary which spent neoliberal capitalist would love ! Capitalism is an exponential economic system on a finite planet which flies in the face of basic logic and maths too! Hence the coming collapses ! "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy "Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them. "--JusticeJoseph Story"Every society is three meals away from chaos" - Vladimir Lenin.“Fascism is capitalism in decay.” — Vladimir LeninThere are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

@sun @rbreich Yes they did. My father whos been watching economic trends been saying the us is is in a great depression right now. With all the things going on, its hard to notice it because we have technology to distract us and blind us.If we didnt have it....wed see it more often
