Bernanke slamming banks as about him slamming anyone with money in the bank.

Interest rates on savings ought to be about 5% and mortgages ought to be about 8%. The variations from that are inappropriate tinkering using money from thin air.

I expect this kind of nonsense from politicians who can't foresee their mistakes and won't admit them later-but Bernanke and the gang should understand what makes the banks tick!
