It stimulates economic growth.
Businesses start spending. When businesses spend, they hire more employees. When companies hire more employees, the job market improves. When the job market improves, everyone will leave for greener pastures.

Lower interest rates, higher pension lump sum!!!!
"Apparently Grok didn't understand what else was happening when you asked about interest rates vs. inflation."
Grok doesn't understand supply and demand. Just like Trumpers and gas prices.
Demand falls - prices fall
Dmand rises - prices rise
I've known awful small business owners who raised prices when "they need to make more because business is slow" and run themselves out of business
"Craft employees sure know, when the fed lowers interest rates our pension lump sum option goes up!"
The same happens to most management lump sums.
"Op here. You can tell which posters are democrat cult members who regurgitate the main stream media propaganda."
Not a Democrat, and I understand that the FED is The Fed. It isn't an acronym.

@OP i am only seeing mass layoffs not hiring. Amazon cuts 14k. UPS 48k, etc. Drop in interest rate only seem to stroke the stock market which makes your 401k grow but a correction is always inevitable once the AI bubble pops. GenZ and millennials about to see what the older generations had to bare multiple times thanks to billionaires market manipulation.
I think businesses are laying off. It's going to take a lot to turn it around.
This is the golden age.
Why would we hir? AT&T has too many unneeded workers.
RTO is ki-ling my tennis game.
RTO is ends? Please end RTO. Stankey bro, please bro. I don’t wanna do this anymore bro.
@OP - sounds like trickle down theory. How’d that work in the past?
Thanks Don.
A viewpoint like this carries more weight and is more legit if you also address the key cons associated with lowering rates (e.g., inflation, lower interest rates for retiree income, etc) and at least try to offer up thoughts on why they don’t matter as much.
By the way, this doesn’t mean I’m against lowering but a one sided argument is not a thoughtful one.
So glad you’re not on The Fed.
Bingo! Then RTO policy changes in an attempt to halt the mass exodus.
Also, can make inflation worse.
