The modifer "well-intended" is a loaded phrase in my mind, Larry. We cannot get into Bernanke's mind and heart. But from where I sit the Fed has gone off the rails. The road to Hell is paved in good intentions. And that's where we're headed. The Fed as the "uber-regulator?" Please! Would I invite a child molester to babysit my children? Possibly, if I were daff or a hopeless naif. Call me the cynic. But this decision makes no sense. Unless the current Administration is in the pocket of the bank robbers. And where is the outrage? Torches and pitchforks will enter the picture, sooner or later. Is Bernanke a well-intended crook?

The regulatory muscle should be applied forcefully in other areas, such as in the Securities and Exchange Commission. The bozos who ruin companies while floating safely to dry ground with their golden parachutes are the ones I'm concerned about and they seem to have all sorts of friends at the Fed. I concur.

AND if it's true, could it nullify the deal? My head spins with the possibility of all the lawsuits that could result. Then again, I guess government is immune. Silly me. Who's left to sue then? And earlier this week we had Barney Frank once again wanting to relax Freddie and Fannie regulations. I guess when we have a POTUS who breaks a law he co-sponsored regarding dismissal procedures for Inspectors General, we shouldn't expect anyone else in government to obey laws and play by the rules.

Talk about strange bedfellows - Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul for example. Support in the Senate is harder, but (surprise surprise) Barney Frank is the one putting on the brakes, as it's his committee that has jurisdiction. This is the MINIMUM required to clean all the dirt out of the Fed - and yes, giving them further regulatory authority for anything is INSANE!

NO! NO! NO! Dear God NO! The Federal Reserve Board is a private corporation controlled by the people/families that own it. It has successfully allowed itself to be thought of as a govt. agency. It is not, even if the Fed Dhairman is nominated and confirmed by Congress. This is the ultimate privatization of the United States of America. Someone should research the names of the stockholders of this agency. I bet those records are not available. More power for the Federal Reserve Board???? NO! NO! NO! Dear God NO!
