We did, as said below, we borrowed a lot of money during that time.


Whether we should’ve borrowed more just as you’re suggesting, I think is a great question.

I don’t think US rates ever went negative but short term rates were certainly near zero for a long time. I started back in commercial lending in 2010 and did that until retirement last year for pretty much my entire time there rates were lower than I had ever imagined, in a banking career that goes back to the 70s
