Calls for an "emergency" Fed rate cut

Email from Paul McCulley at bond giant Pimco in Newport Beach suggests the Fed should cut rates now!

“Sometimes when you are ill, you make an appointment with your doctor; other
times, you go straight to the emergency room. Now is an other time.” AND “risk
takers are ‘dis-engaging’ from the market, out of sheer fear. It may or may not
be rational, but you can have irrational fear, just like you can have irrational
exuberance. Animal spirits are what they are: animal spirits. “
