If there is no recession he is a Rock Star, but he is learning on the job, the difference between book learning and street smarts.

I feel the one element missing is investor confidence. I don't think the fed dumping huge amounts of money into the system or lowering short term rates is going to instill confidence in our overseas investors. I sure would not place my money here! Bernanke needs to get credibility through speaking as well as actions! Greenspan could turn the market with his words, I think Bernanke needs to give that a shot!

I still feel the Iraq war is weighing heavy on investors mind.Spending so much money leaves me with little confidence. We need some of our problems in the U.S. solved or worked on.
Thank you,

Let just call it the "Ben Bernanke Bankers Bailout"

CNBC's Maria Bartiromo was bordering on the obscene in her dance of delirium in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Why is she and her friends, the traders on the floor and in Chicago, so joyful? The underlying and far more ominous scene unfolding in the investment world with its lurking monsters of investors abandoning hedge funds in droves, mortgage rates rising next year, and the forthcoming credit squeeze affecting ordinary people on mainstreet hasn't changed because of anything the Fed has done over the past week. Maria's pals, the Wall Street socialists running to Uncle Ben to save their miserable hides, can't stop the inevitable from happening. Step right up to the tent and come on in to witness the Bush and Greenspan Next Great Depression.

Just out of curosity, how many of your loans went to illegal aleins.

Ben S Bernanke is also on the B.O.D. for the BANK FOR INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENTS. This the head bank for all central banks of the world (talk about playing both sides of the street).
What he did was make the poor poorer and rich richer. He's helping to raise inflation so he can raise his buddies profits. It's a clear case of bailing out your friends. This guy, along with everyone at the Federal Reserve, does not and have never held the American public dear to it's black heart.
