Hi Jacob. Interesting article. There are a myraid of questions as to why is President Trump's economic team doing what they are doing. I've done some digging into this 1) America has a TON of debt maturing in the not to distant future, if they can "crash" the economy and drop interest rates 1.5-2% before this it will save American's 2-3 Billion a year in Interest payments. 2) If they are succesfull in "crashing" the economy in turn that will "crash" the dollar and make American exports much more affordable to other buyers. President Trump did in his campain say there was going to be some pain. There are articles and You Tube people out there talking about this.

Thanks Jacob
