Bernanke stepped in and did things which improved the economy's outlook. Link please. All he's done is reduce interest rates to zero so the banksters can gamble with free money. That has done nothing for the economy so I'm gonna need a little more than that from the Man of the Year. In fact I'm of the opinion that reducing interest rates to zero has done nothing more than put the economy at greater risk of a catastrophic failure.

>>>Bernanke stepped in and did things which improved the economy's outlook.<<< I love to go down to my broker's office and see the old people there trying to flip stocks because Bernanke has forced them with the ZIRP, out of safe income producing vehicles and into risk assets. I am really looking forward to a retirement where I have to stay sharp as a razor's edge just to buy that night's dog food dinner.
