Before everyone finishes piling on Gov. Mark Sanford, let me say that all of us in New York were happy to learn that he has been scheduling his assignations in our state.
All the major U.S. newspapers lead today with news that the Federal Reserve has lowered its benchmark interest rate by half a percentage point, and word from Washington that the government is considering a plan to bail out homeowners facing foreclosure.
The Fed's move brings the interest rate banks use when lending to each other overnight to one percent, the lowest it's been since the dot-com bust of 2003, reports the New York Times. The NYT piles on the gloom, noting that banks remain reluctant to lend at all, that unemployment is up, and that consumer spending is down. The sky isn't falling, but the "ground is moving from underneath us," as an investment firm economist puts it. (In a separate front-page story, the Times reports on layoffs emanating from Wall Street into the greater New York region.) To reduce foreclosures, the government is putting together a plan to use $50 billion from its $700 billion bailout of the banking industry to guarantee $500 to $600 billion in home loans.
