he didn't say THAT...he said 'banks should not get restrictive in their lending at this juncture', more or less. he didn't mention enterprises that are not creditworthy outright. fact remains though that bad debt is piling up, and they will eventually have to choose between getting restrictive, or sinking along with their borrowers.

i have never been enamored with this incarnation of the Fed...i believe that they have been instrumental in the fomenting of the bubble, and by piling bail-out upon bail-out have created an atmosphere of moral hazard and recklessness in the financial world that we all will have to pay for eventually.
you are witnessing just such a systemic bail-out RIGHT NOW, with nearly 180 billion in fresh money printed over the past seven weeks...an unprecedented pace of monetary inflation (MZM is growing at 13% annualized at the moment), as they fear the entire system will collapse otherwise. too much debt needs to be rolled over....
