I agree. Don't you think Bernanke must be fed up with his "helicopter" tag (which I believe was an aside and said when he was alluding to Friedman and quoting others so context may be a factor ). I know everything he has written suggests that high liquidity will be maintained but there again what is the point of reading early Greenspan to ascertain his Fed Chair career. People change when they have no further to go and need no patronage. It is just possible that Bernanke might wish to change his reputation, get rid of the epithet which may otherwise continue with him to his grave, and come over - at least for the time being - as hard as nails.

I believe Helicopter Bernanke will eventually use the printing presses. However it will be at a time when the market is demanding the printing presses. I believe Wall Street will be crying Uncle the very minute Sp500 declines more than 10% from the peak ( if it ever does LOL ) Notice that pain is already being felt among leveraged homeowners and speculators, witness many letters to the editor, attacking newspapers for reporting bad news about the housing market. This reminds me of a time when a Morgan Stanley semi analyst J. Joseph received death threats after downgrading Intel at around $70, right before Nasdaq swoon in the fall of 2000.
