I guess you could say if Joe average guy gets saved then so does the economy and market. That also helps Joe average guy.

It shows how ignorant Novak is to buy into this rate cut to save millionaires.

Novak had moved into my "conservatives I don't give a crap about" long before Bill Crystal or Rush Limbaugh did. I see them as people who are in love with their ideas more than being able to get something accomplished. I think at least Crystal is in love with his ideas.

Novak and Limbaugh have self love issues. I see them as guys who prefer to change their own oil.

I wouldn't put Novak in the same category as either of these two.

Limbaugh is a narcissistic entertainer.

Crystal is an ideologue.

Novak is the prince of darkness. Yes, he has a conservative agenda, based on what he chooses to talk about. His most frequent choice is to lionize the people in congress who are fighting pork (which means he frequently bashes Bush). I thought this would be up your alley.

Well this is probably the first time we have ever disagreed on something, but I see him as a major narcissistic entertainer.

Novak, Bob Novak?? If that is who you are quoting what the heck does he know about the fed? He barely is 50/50 calling the area he is familiar with.

I think the Fed cuts later this year, but I sure as heck hope it isn't done to bail out the hedge funds. Wouldn't bother me if the Goldmans of the world take an absolute ass kicking.

Maybe they will wise up and get back to investing.
