Chris chris want to you talk a little bit inform our audience about the this level of drop in Interest Rates whats the context of this historically is this sort of unprecedented how low the rates are or is this kind of par for the course. Well i think. The fed doesnt see any looming size of inflation so you do get concerned about some level of potential downturn at that but the cup bottom line is the reason why you drop these rates is not for is not to bring on or to stop a recession its to continue the growth that is going on and right now weve had on personal growth going back to the end of the last administration i think thats what the fed would like to see continue weve got on president unemployment the lowest unemployment in history for overall the most i
