Housing in our Country is lagging because Jerome âToo Lateâ Powell refuses to lower Interest Rates. Families are being hurt because Interest Rates are too high, and even our Country is having to pay a higher Rate than it should be because of âToo Late.â Our Rate should be three points lower than they are, saving us $1 Trillion per year (as a Country). This stubborn guy at the Fed just doesnât get it â Never did, and never will. The Board should act, but they donât have the Courage to do so!
