It does, but the question is, IF it will heal in time for Bernanke, Geithner and Obama to politically benefit from it ?

I seriouly doubt that things are going to improve with this Administrations's policies.

Isn't that what the hardcore republicans advocate anyway? Let the market sort itself out? Why is this bad all of a sudden?

Guess it all depends who says it...

My bet is elimination of the Federal reserve would do more for our economy than all the harm they have done over the years. Time to stop the madness.

Ben, you have been wrong about everything so far, but thanks for sharing.

That is the problem, the market is not sorting itself out when you have the gvt and FR interference. Barnanke will be announcing Q3 in September when the economy remains slow and the stock market is down.

Wait, so if Bernanke does anything he's a treasonous idiot.

...and if he does nothing he's an idiot as well. Even though it was what the same people called for.

I see people want to hate this guy no matter what, they just change why depending on the day. Congratulations.
