- Will the Obama Admin ever pull us off QE? - Strongbad Oct 1, 04:37 16

      - More like Wall Street is addicted, Derivates can be carved up and sold at risk knowing the Fed will bail them out. -- nm - budice Oct 1, 04:57 1
        
        Moral Hazard has been breached, there is no incentive to break up too big to fail. The interconnects between banks force the Fed's hand on bailout. -- nm - budice Oct 1, 04:58

    - Isn't Bernanke an appointee? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 1, 04:41 6
