Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told the Senate Finance Committee today we need “strong government action to stabilize financial institutions and financial markets.”
If not, he said, the current recession definitely could extend into 2010.
No, he didn’t use the “financial N-word,” but I think you can count Big Ben as another voice for “doing whatever it takes” with bad banks.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
