Bernake didn't sound very positive today. Stocks drop and he actually uses words like recession and "double dip" . Interest rates to stay low is the good point in the article. Rich

If banks don't lend money then businesses can't make projects profitable. Absent some change in the super-humanly-stringent underwriting criteria and downright crazy approach of banks I don't think we see a recovery anytime soon.

Credit is the lifeblood of the economy and people and businesses still don't trust other people and businesses.
