US interest rates have been slashed for the first time in more than four years, by more than many expected amid fears the world's largest economy is flagging.

Bringing down inflation to 2% is a primary goal and the Fed has used interest rates to draw money out of the economy by making borrowing more costly.

For Some Struggling Americans, Lower Rates Signal Start of Relief. The Federal Reserve’s interest- rate cut on Wednesday will take time to work its way through the American economy. And not everyone will feel its effects right away. But for some, the move will amount to a big change—or at least the start of one—and those changes will add up. It will mean relief for auto loans, home mortgages, credit card debt among other things.

Terrific stock market, low employment and interest rates dropping. Four years ago the DOW stood at 19, 000, today it is 45, 250. Unemployment was 9.2%, today it is 4.2.

And there is an election soon! 😉
