DERBY JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. -- Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke defended Monday the central bank's recent stress tests of the nation's most important banks, and mounted an unusual defense of the U.S. dollar. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203334304574160170648635650.html why the unusual tactics? is Ben worried?
I think they used the word 'unusual' because, when speaking, he usually doesn't spend ANY time defending the dollar. Certainly his actions do everything they can to destroy the dollar.
