Serious News Item that appears to have been overlooked:

[OHdem10]

Bernanke, cautioned Congress ---more Stimulus is needed.
It is too early to cut off Stimulus Spending in fragile
Recovery.

No matter how you feel about Bernanke, he is a scholar of
the Great Depression and has so far, managed to keep us
from going over the cliff. The Markets have stabalized
and the we are witnessing some growth, very weak but at
least it is trending in right direction.

When Bernake indicates a need to continue some stimulus,
we had better set up and listen.

Where is the News Media? Busy News Days --Prioritize
and give some punch to the stories that affect Americans
Lives. The Stimulus does just that. Yesterday, Bernaknk
reported that the recovery is in a state of uncertainty.


These two items should have been pushed. When we end up
in a double dip, the Media will be their wringing their
hands. They could have done something about it.

4. This isn't being pushed at all...

Somehow the narrative magically became "we need to tighten our belts". Also not being covered: scores of other leading economists saying precisely the same thing.
