Thank you Mr. Bernake

I wanted to say thank you to the Federal Reserve for dropping the interest rate between banks. Now what we are likely to get is a recession with higher inflation and lower savings account rates. The only good news would be that the value of the dollar will fall making exports from America into other countries more attractive.

The Fed bowed to speculator's demands by cutting rates again (see the year 2001). In the end most speculators will lose money. It is in the math.

I don't agree with the cut myself, but I wouldn't say the output of the cut is a recession. Inflation, probably. I would actually say if we do get a recession then the cut was appropriate as it probably will soften the blow. What I fear is avoiding a recession all together which will fuel more rampant speculation.
