Are America's Banks Being Nationalized by the Fed?

Submitted by Kenny, Mar 16, 2008 12:21

The 'Fed' is in the business of riding herd on our economy. The 'proof' of their recent action is seen in the immediate reaction on Wall Street to their most recent innovative move. It was a bold and incisive play by the Fed that is not intended to be a 'be-all', 'end-all'. It is designed to assuage bumps and bruises Behr and others, not yet known, suffered because of ill advised banking practices: practices that could have effected serious harm to investor confidence industry wide thereby affecting the entire economy

Mr. Bernanke and his team deserve a great big "Atta' Boy, Ben !!!"
