While You’re Talking About TI, Bernanke Is Talking About Shutting Down Banks

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

In “You probably don’t know who Bernanke is” news, the big homey Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is back at it again, this time he’s telling the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission – a panel investigating the financial crisis – that regulators must be ready to shutter the largest institutions if they threaten to bring down the financial system.

Oh for real EbenGregory, sounds like it might get tricky again huh man?

Yes.

And now…here’s Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission on why Big Brother might have to shut large institutions down: If the crisis has a single lesson, it is that the too-big-to-fail problem must be solved. Too-big-to-fail financial institutions were both a source … of the crisis and among the primary impediments to policymakers’ efforts to contain it. We should not imagine … that it is possible to prevent all crises. To achieve both sustained growth and stability, we need to provide a framework which promotes the appropriate mix of prudence, risk-taking and innovation in our financial system.

I see said the blind man. And now…

EbenGregory was like…Boasting is the act of making an ostentatious speech and is considered a vice by such major religious groups as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. Boasting can be seen as a form of the message “Look at me, now. Aren’t I wonderful?” Feeling satisfaction about an achievement, overcoming a challenge, a difficult accomplishment, and other similar events is to be expected. The feelings of satisfaction are pleasant and contribute positively to our self-concept and our self-esteem. We can and do feel good about ourselves. There is also the urge to share some of this satisfaction with others and the hope that they will feel a sense of pride and accomplishment with us. These are all expected feelings that any of us can identify with and probably have acted on. As described this is not boasting. But…

Boasting occurs when someone not only feels a sense of satisfaction but also feels that whatever occurred proves their superiority, and is recounting accomplishments that so that others will feel admiration and envy. The accomplishment is not enough; there must be admiration and envy from others, which is a form of aggression. Also, boasting can involve magnifying an accomplishment out of proportion to its importance.

But I digress.
