So again.... Ben Bernake is not a Wall Street insider... the fed is a government agency AND the bailout was decided by congress.  If you want a reason why the bailouts happened?  Why not mention Congress' ability to insider trade.... legally.


I mean it's crazy I have to point all this out, considering I was never in favor of the bailout, and still aren't, and think in reality in an Ideal world the Federal Reserve would do almost nothing when it comes to monetary policy.

If I am not mistaken I DID mention insider trading by congress in here, and it got linked up with this comment: "Well, golly, protest Washington over that".  I did mention it before.

And the Fed is as much of a Federal Agency as Sallie Mae is.
