“We’re too early to make that conclusion,” Cramer told Erin Burnett during Stop Trading!. Besides, he said, “Being the slowest economy in the world is nothing really great to write home about.”

Cramer wants Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to realize that rate cuts aren’t always about inflation. “It’s about the idea that we shouldn’t have 1% GDP growth,” he said.
