U.S. Federal Reserve Bank policy emerging from the September 2011 FOMC meeting
09/07/2011
The Fed's policy according to Neil Irwin of the Washington Post, is to move in the direction of reducing the composition of its bond portfolio rather than printing new money for new bond purchases. That policy of printing money for bond purchases came under criticism from Republican presidential candidates and there were three dissenters at the last FOMC meeting. Mindful of this the Fed is now considering a policy called a "switch," of buying more long term bonds and reducing the short term bonds in its portfolio. This would reduce long term interest rates. The impact on the housing market of past and current moves is limited by the fact that the mortgage markets are not functioning properly, as a large proportion of homeowners are under water (owe more than their house is worth). The Fed's effort come under its mandate to keep unemployment in check in addition to inflation.

Philadelphia Federal Reserve bank president Charles Plosser and other expert criticism of Fed chairman Bernanke's monetary policy.
01/04/2010
Plosser says the Fed cannot create jobs or retrain a workforce. In the short term the Fed can act against disinflation, says Plosser, but in the long term Fed policy such as the one being pursued by Bernanke can backfire and lead to more instability in the economy. The Dallas Fed President, Richard Fisher, expresses similiar views.

Bernanke's Imprint on Fed Not Easily Erased
Wall Street Journal 01/30/2012
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
