DW NOTE
Bernanke's 2008 intervention kept Citigroup and Goldman Sachs solvent. That is not the same thing as restoring productive capacity to an economy drowning in mortgage debt. The Fed added $3.5 trillion to its balance sheet between 2008 and 2014, and median household income didn't return to 2007 levels until 2016. Liquidity for banks, austerity for everyone else.
