It doesnt matter how much they cut rates if the credit card companies are not willing to pass it to the consumers, only one of the four that I have and none of the ones my wife has would cut their interest rates.

Sold my mothers home in Wesminster, a suburb of Denver three years ago for 175000, 20,000 lower than the appraised price. it resold last month for $110,000.
a 3 bed 2 bath atypical ranch style 50's burb home. Others in the vicinity are going for 98,000 and STILL not selling.

This is all a part of the plan. He lowered rates so oil would go up and since he has the job where he can say everthing is alright we are suppose to believe him. Well it is hard to believe him when the pres and vice pres are making billions of the situation the country is in. Supply and demand doesn't hold water when everyone i know has slowed down their use of enegry. And the certain states are increasing their tax on a gallon of gas because not enough gallons gas is being sold in their state.

I think things are going just fine--I'm still making lots of money and don't try to find others to blame.

Mey Bernanke!@ A little economic lesson for ya!
1. The Us is a consumer based economy
2. Take money awy from consumers via more taxes or at the gas pump, and they AUTOMATICALLY have less to spend on other things
3. That means that the consumer based economy suffers because people can't afford to eat out, fix their cars, buy new ones, buy clothes, or even commute to a minimum wage job
I know I know, why am I picking on you with all this head swimming stuff. So take a day or two, let the above sink in and maybe tomorrow we can start to get into the CONSQUENCES of a suffering consumer economy, such as layoffs. Maybe.
