Trucking, the people that bring you all of your stuff is already in a recession. Dropping the interest rate will do nothing for them and nothing for you.
 
Bad decision, but whatever. Won't make a bit of difference. Liquidity traps are sticky.

Oh no

"The not seasonally adjusted index, which represents the change in tonnage actually hauled by the fleets before any seasonal adjustment, equaled 114.8 in August, 7.5% below the August level (124). In calculating the index, 100 represents 2015."
 
I don't agree with the cut. I'm a little more conservative and would like to hold back on that move until it's really needed. I just hope this move is more economic than political.
