Bernanke: Breaking News

Ben Bernanke given second term at Federal Reserve
Relief for Obama administration after 70-30 senate vote in favour of Bernanke’s re-appointmentThe chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, has overcome significant Congressional opposition to win approval for a second four-year term at the helm of America’s central bank through a 70-30 vote by senators.Bernanke’s approval will come as a relief to the Obama administration which was anxious for confirmation before Bernanke’s term expires at the end of January. Once considered a sure thing, Bernanke’s re-appointment became a contentious issue in recent weeks with attacks on his record coming both from the political left and right.A softly spoken former Princeton University economics professor, Bernanke, 56, replaced Alan Greenspan at the Fed in 2006 and initially adopted a low-key style in setting interest rates and guiding monetary policy. But the global financial crisis thrust him into the very core of government and he was a pivotal figure in bailing out Wall Street banks, opening up a cheap supply of credit, rescuing the insurer AIG and in endorsing the White House’s economic stimulus plans.Critics on the left blame Bernanke for allowing Wall Street banks to get out of control in the first place. Bernie Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, described him as “asleep at the switch while Wall Street became a gambling casino”. Sheldon Whitehouse, a Democrat, said: “If you’re the scorekeeper of our recovery, it looks like it can be summarised in the two-word phrase ‘banks win’. That isn’t a balanced score.”Among Republican ranks, free marketeers frowned upon his interventionist approach in tackling the credit crunch.
