QE2 and low rates

According to George Will, QE2 (quantitative easing) was accomplished by the Fed buying 70% of new the Treasury's new issues of debt.  Rates will have to rise in order to sell all the issues once QE2 stops in June 2011.

If interest rates are kept low, this stimulates things, such as housing, that are interest rate sensitive.

cutting expenses

Today I told Ann to stop the following services in order to save money.  We have lost the Mexican restaurant at Cotton Plant and will lose Swaffer insurance and K & F Wireless in a month or so.  So I am cutting back.

Mirror Lawn - sweeping service at CP every sunday night - $200 per month
Herbi systems - weed spraying at CP - $100 per month
Green Meadow - fertilize and weed kill at Shamrock - $200 per month
2011-04-04 Also stopping Grisanti's landscaping at Shamrock.  He was cutting grass and maintaining flower beds. -- $480 per month.

Total savings is $980 per month.
