The same thing we've always done, but hopefully better. There are few 'new' problems in the world and we need to stop acting like we found a new one. When Bernake was made Fed Chairman it was said that he was very much a 'Greeenspan' kinda guy, but more of an inflation hawk. So, I am still assuming he knows when to stop the valve from opening - per his label of being an inflation control kinda guy. Then again, we all know reporting is not always accurate [sm_devil] Title: Re: oops, what will we do now [Politics/Religion] Post by: Fuzzy on February 20, 2008, 01:04:30 PM Dow and Nasdaq both up today. ;D [sm_devil] ;) :D
