...interview with ABC News, “…we are in not just an ordinary recession.” With the target for the Federal Funds rate against the zero lower bound, the limitations of the Federal Reserve are quite apparent. Since no one can trust a bank’s balance sheet, laced with so-called toxic assets, the economy continues to be threatened. Our legislators are left two main choices: Inject the banks with more capital and hope for the best, or take over insolvent banks, wipe out shareholders, replace the executives, and make the bondholders...
