WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to join Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on Friday to take questions from House lawmakers about key aspects of the White House's regulatory reform proposal released in June, the central bank said Thursday.

The panel will likely consider a White House recommendation to create a mechanism and payment assessment structure for unwinding systemically significant banks, hedge fund managers, private equity managers, in a way to ensure that that their collapse would not cause collateral damage to the markets.

The entire House of Representatives should be questing Barney, just another Pelosi lap dog. Never had a real first rate thought in his entire life.

Perhaps Barney wants to discuss the issue with them over at his house in the basement.

Isn’t that kinda like pot calling the kettle black? I mean, Bahney ‘hurry spend the taxes before the taxpayers find out’, in bed with (and literally) upper management at a lending institution. Sheesh. It’s should be a satirical comedy, but it’s not...
