Infatti per il momento hanno tenuto il sistema in equilibrio nella speranza che nel frattempo gli asset si rivalutino.. la demografia è ancora a loro favore.. vedremo....

pensa un po' che smacco se un giorno dovremo ammettere che Bernanke ha fatto un buon lavoro
o perlomeno che ha fatto il meglio che si poteva fare con quello che aveva in mano... in fondo la mierda l'ha creata Greenspan, ma tocca a Bernakka sbadilare

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Federal Reserve official says the Fed should start boosting interest rates "soon," warning that delay could eventually unleash inflation. He does not specify when it should act.

Thomas Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, in a speech in New Mexico raises concerns about leaving rates at record lows for too long. He suggests the Fed soon start moving its key rate -- now near zero -- toward 1 percent.

When rate increases are delayed, "the outcome too often is greater inflation, significant credit and market imbalances, and an eventual financial crisis," he says.

Hoenig, a member of the Fed's interest-rate setting committee, opposed the committee's pledge at its past two meetings to hold rates at record lows for an "extended period."

(Reuters) - The United States should consider raising taxes to help bring deficits under control and may need to consider a European-style value-added tax, White House adviser Paul Volcker said on Tuesday.

Volcker, answering a question from the audience at a New York Historical Society event, said the value-added tax "was not as toxic an idea" as it has been in the past and also said a carbon or other energy-related tax may become necessary.

Though he acknowledged that both were still unpopular ideas, he said getting entitlement costs and the U.S. budget deficit under control may require such moves. "If at the end of the day we need to raise taxes, we should raise taxes," he said.

After a series of auctions two weeks ago that indicated that the market was tiring of the government's infusion of notes into the market, a sale of $21 billion in 10-year notes fetched a yield of 3.90, a bit beneath the when-issued rate but clearly indicative that the psychologically important yield level of 4 percent was a resistance level.

Demand was 3.72 times the amount of money auctioned, well above the normal bid-to-cover ratio of 2.87.
