Last week, on September 13th, we (The Richter Scales) released our music video "Fine Line: Sub-Prime Decline"on YouTube. 2. In said music video, at time index 01:29, we implore Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, to "cut rates" by "50 bips." 3. The financial term "bips" is an abbreviation of "basis points"(1/100th of a percent). 50 bips would be half of one percent. 4. Today, the Federal Reserve lowered the key lending rate by 0.5% . These are the facts, and they are not in dispute. Feel free to draw your own conclusions. -- The Richter Scales: Men Who Blog http://www.richterscales.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
