Monkey wrench. The Fed just dropped interest rates by 0.5%. Now more money is made available to the economy. Therefore the prices of everything will only increase? How does throwing more money in the economy make more wealth? After all, the Fed is supposedly lowering interest rates only to stave off recession - the manufacturing of fewer goods. OK you Econ 101 experts. Explain that one.
