Lowering the Prime any more is not necessary.

We can survive a bear market, and/or a recession, but inflation that will result from further cuts is the proverbial toothpaste that can't be put back into the bottle. Once inflation is unleashed it can take years to get it back under control and it will be accompanied by a sluggish to down stock market. It would be better to just let the market do what it will do so that a comeback is waiting in the wings, rather than hit the world economy with the double whammy of inflation and stagnation. World-wide demand for all sorts of products and commodities will, all by itself, cause inflation, and to add additional pressure, especially when that pressure is literally a placebo, is borderline outrageous.
You cannot solve insolvency problems with liquidity.
