Seems like it's more geared toward providing training more than actual deployment of troops, etc.
Plus there's this:
I'm guessing this means that it will comply with the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Mail-in BS from Abrams got these two Senators in office in 2020. An awful identity politics strategy gave them Warnock for another six years.

My question is what should the interest rate be?
Don’t forget origination fees.
It’s an unsecured loan and there’s no telling what the real amortization will be.
Should be commensurate with unsecured personal loans at least, maybe not as high as credit cards.

I don’t monitor mine for short term volatility. Save myself the headache.
I certainly don’t day trade in it.
Gotta overcome the psychological when it comes to times like this.

The more and more unnecessary government spending that is uncovered and cut could result in GDP reductions that offset growth.

re: Currently, what economic benefit is gained by lowering the fed funds rate?

I also mentioned other rates that they can affect. Their official tools are limited, but they influence so much more after starting QE and other direct involvement. Mortgage rates never dropped below 5% prior to 2009, yet people think mortgage rates over 5% are high. Sure, this is an effect of the yield curve’s movement after Fed Funds rate changes, but they also started messing in markets they had no business being in. The Fed never should have been purchasing MBS or commercial paper to begin with.
I go back to the point that they need to let things correct and stop kicking the can on cheap money.

Money becomes so cheap that it encourages debt and discourages cash savings (CDs, money markets, etc.).
The rate should be allowed to go back to its historic norms. Throw out the last 20 years and check the average rates again (beyond just the Fed Funds rate). We’ve had extremely cheap money for way too long.

Boortz had an excellent analogy about government schools.
Imagine that a couple was moving to a new town and their real estate agent was showing them around. They are taken to a grocery store, and the agent tells them that this is where they'll buy their groceries. She tells them that even if the produce isn't great, the dairy is sometimes old, or the selection isn't what they want, they have to shop their no matter what.
It sounds crazy, but it's exactly what happens with government schools, and the system is so ingrained that it seems normal now.

Loads of unknowns, so we’re all throwing darts at a board in the dark.
My take:
We start manufacturing our own goods and growing our own food to cover all of our needs that we can. We’ll only be hurt by the items we import and export. We would have to be a pretty self sufficient economy, which is possible. And the deficit spending would have to get more controlled.
We might have pain points, but this is why we have the largest military on earth and why our founding fathers believed in manifest destiny.
