Ol' Ben Bernanke to the Rescue!


Here we go.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has said in recent weeks that economic weakness is likely to continue into next year, despite rate cuts and other recent moves taken by the Fed and Treasury Department to try and fix the credit crisis.

On Monday, Bernanke pushed Congress to consider a new stimulus plan to spur the economy.

"Everyone at the Fed has pretty much told you they're going to cut," said Rich Yamarone, director of economic research at Argus Research. "They're in a kitchen sink mode right now. Rate cuts, fiscal stimulus, bailouts - they're throwing everything they can at this right now."


What's the over/under for Bernanke's next gimmick being an old fashioned lemonade stand? Or a massive car wash? Or a giant raffle to see Davy Jones perform his greatest hits?
