I think around the time of the next presidential election cycle, you will see a steep decline in interest rates to get back to the Fed's goal of 2% per year.

Every fall I send calendars of scantily clad women with my advertising to the H.R. dept of every contractors company that has rented from me.There are magnetic signs on my truck.I have a side job.
