Bernanke is also shrugging Banks increasing housing market problems by, suggesting that the government could help underwater homeowners refinance and also improve the availability of mortgages for potential buyers. So the Fed just is reckless and then shrugs off its responsibilities to fix things in the people's best interest.

The Fed could easily have kept local and state government payrolls going until the economy picks up (i.e., printed the money as in the bank bailouts) but no . . .

The primary goal of OWS should be to end the fed. Everybody hates them and they were never ratified properly anyway so everything they have done by driving us into debt with wars is illegal and rescindable.

What they're saying is that we own the President and want him to stay in power. This is an attack on the Republicans.
