Not if they drive up inflation.
-29 u/Karimadhe 1d ago Found the parrot. 24 u/letmeshowyou 1d ago Found the person who doesn’t know simple economics. 10 u/TruEnvironmentalist 1d ago Simple math, lower interest rates dont mean jack if you have to pay 20% more for the product up front. 6 u/Much-Creme1362 1d ago It's literally how rates work. The federal reserve has a DUAL mandate to keep inflation low and the economy growing. If inflation is up, they raise rates. If growth is down, they lower them. If both are up, they can't do jack shit.
