Bernanke and Company can "find" any number of crises to respond to by cutting rates. But every real American with a certificate of deposit and a few trips to the store already knows they went the wrong way on rates. How about us getting a Fed that knows the first job is price stability and maintaining the value and credibility of our dollar? Let's start with Obama. Bush and Bernanke have been utter failures, and they ARE (Republican) peas in a pod.
