Bernanke responded that the Fed explains the various lending programs on its website, and details the terms and collateral requirements. When Sanders pressed on whether he would name the firms that borrowed from the Fed, the central bank chairman replied, “No,” and started to say that doing so risked stigmatizing banks and discouraging them from borrowing from the central bank. “Isn’t that too bad,” Sanders interrupted, cutting off Bernanke’s answer. “They took the money but they don’t want to be public about the fact that they received it.” He said businesses in his state were in trouble and needed loans, but were not permitted to borrow from the Fed. “Do you have to be a large, greedy, reckless financial institution to apply for this money?” he asked.

Add me as a friend on Facebook! www.facebook.com twitter.com Andy Xie, former Morgan Stanley star economist, wrote: While rational expectation is returning to part of the investment community, most are still trapped in institutional weaknesses that make them behave irrationally.
