Bloomberg Fires Back At Bernanke's Blustering Rebutall By Tyler Durden Created 12/06/2011 - 19:17 [1] Submitted by Tyler Durden [1] Published on ZeroHedge ( http://www.zerohedge.com) on 12/06/2011 19:17 -0500 Ben Bernanke [2] Discount Window [3] It appears 'It Is On' as Bloomberg offers its well-reasoned and eloquent response to Mr. Bernanke's 'egregious errors' note to Congress.

The stories reported that the Fed’s rationale for keeping the loans secret was to prevent bank runs.
