Bernanke, Move West

Tucked away in Wyoming's Grand Teton mountain range, Federal Reserve leaders, central bank executives, as well as important economists from around the world met previous week to chat about the earth economic condition and plans for the future. The theme was: "Attaining Maximum Long-Run Growth." Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's remarks from Jackson Hole indicated the Fed would not be implementing more motivation measures very soon. Bernanke, under force to bring results, was expected by some to launch another round of quantitative easing.

The Fed can simply do so much, and Bernanke looks to be at the bottom of his bag of tricks. Bernanke called upon Congress and the Obama direction to execute policies that will sustain restoration.
