Ben Bernanke
At Forum, Bernanke Defends Fed's Aggressive Moves

On July 26, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke joined Jim Lehrer in Kansas City, Mo., for an on-the-record forum about how the central bank has responded to the financial crisis and its changing role on the road to economic recovery. The forum aired on the NewsHour during the week of July 27.

"It's a problem called a too-big-to-fail problem. These companies have turned out to be too big to allow to collapse, because [...] when the elephant falls down, all the grass gets crushed as well."

-Ben Bernanke
