I agree with that as a short-term strategy to address the immediate crisis. However if we want to avoid more crisis in the future I think it is necessary to re-examine the fundamental assumptions of the existing model.
Also, we have to do something about the issue of regulatory capture. The Fed knew that hundreds of banks were insolvent as far back as September [0], yet they did nothing to protect depositors. Why not and why should we trust the Fed going forward given their terrible terrible track record?
The Fed gave us a decade of zero interest rates. The Fed told us there would be no inflation, then they told us inflation was transitory. As far as I am concerned the Federal Reserve is nothing more than a centralized public relations arm of the banking industry.
