The economy is doing fine. Spending has been greatly controlled. Employment has been steady.

CEO's have a fiduciary responsibility first to stock holders. Lowering the rate (but not below sweetheart deals other countries have) isn't going to do jack shit for bringing back jobs.

The cuts in the housing programs will probably lead to an increase in crime and the housing market in general better get ready for a big blow.

Economically Fiscally and Socially a nightmare.
