Bernanke supports stimulus package - Jan. 17, 2008

Bernanke speaks out in favor of a stimulus package, and he is saying that it should help "beleagered consumers" and that it "should be explicitly temporary".

While he does speak favorably of some temporary tax credits for business investment too, he is not repeating Alan "Bubbles" Greenspans incompetence, and endorsing massive permanent tax cuts.

He's already put himself well ahead of Ayn Rand's acolyte in the competence department.
