If Bernanke can keep inflation tame, and we return to growth within a couple of quarters, I am willing to say his policies may have helped us out of what could have been a much worse-case scenario.

Ozero's deficit spending on the other hand...

Thank you for demonstrating that you have no freaking clue what's going on in the financial world at this point.

The sh*t is about to really hit the fan in the next 6 months.

“If Bernanke can keep inflation tame, ...I am willing to say his policies may have helped us out...”

Do you know who the individuals were that cooked up the idea of $700 billion bailouts last year and convinced Bush to plead for it?

Paulson (dem)
Geitner (dem)
Bernanke (dem)

What is that makes you think we’ll see better times ahead??

Agreed with you. I don’t know how accurate it is saying the Fed did a great job last year- there are many I respect who believe there was a huge potential collapse- I’ll await the judgment of history on that. The real question is what the aftereffects are of the “fix”, which we have yet to see.
