Bernanke is worse than a common thief. Families can recover from the acts of thieves, but they won’t recover from this evil. While Wall Street celebrates, the rest of us are making less and paying more. Filth like Bernanke don’t care.

what about the bump up in retirement funds for those still working and or reinvesting dividends and interest?

Bernanke is doing exactly what he is supposed to be doing according to U.S. Law. And the law is correct, that's what he needs to be doing. The problem isn't Bernanke. The problem is Congress, U.S. Trade Policy, and U.S. Energy Policy.

Fix those and Bernanke will go back to worrying about inflation.
