Leading politics about the races to watch in the 2020 elections. But first, what a long, strange trip 2019 has been.

What do you talk a little bit inform our audience about the this level of the 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 kept bottomline 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 one percent growth going back to the end of the last administration and 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 important one for africanamericans low sort of one for women always on a point for spandex and i completely agree of rob and i said to say that theyve been going to hell because were going to ask you to can text allies.
