5 Reasons why the Fed Should Not Cut Rates

1. The pathetic US Dollar. I'm legal to work in the EU, and I'm starting to think of this now as a benefit.
2. Oil at $90 a barrel
3. P&G dissappoints Wall Street, warns of price increases.
4. Restore Fed credibility: They've been telling us a story of moderate growth, cutting rates would confirm that they don't believe their own tales.
5. Help speed up the bottom of real estate values. Dropping rates would extend pain.
