Opinion: Senator Merkley Makes The Case Against Bernanke
Last month, Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) was the sole Democrat on the Banking Committee to vote against reconfirming Ben Bernanke as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The good news is that more Democrats have come out to oppose Bernanke. The bad news is that more Democrats have come out in sup...
