So, lets add fuel to the recession fire...
Well, to be fair, they are only lowering the short term rates.

Long terms are market driven, and with the economy in the crapper and inflation rearing its head big time, I expect rates to keep going up, even with another cut. It's all about the expected returns.

Did you put any cash down? They quoted me 8% on a refinace to go from a co-loan to just me. Loan value 52k.
