Fed Steady 10-1

Love your blog Maxed Out Mama. I'm not sure what to think of a future interest rate cut. Uh, didn't they just raise them every quarter for almost forever? I think they should stay put for a while, but I'm no economist, I just think that we should hang steady for at least couple of quarters.
