El senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley, el primer dem\u00f3crata en oponerse p\u00fablicamente a la nominaci\u00f3n de Bernanke, vot\u00f3 en contra de la confirmaci\u00f3n. Merkley emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de la votaci\u00f3n:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMe opuse a la confirmaci\u00f3n de Ben Bernanke hoy porque no creo que sea la persona adecuada para reconstruir nuestra econom\u00eda, por muy h\u00e1bil que haya sido para responder al colapso financiero. Cuando nuestra casa econ\u00f3mica se incendi\u00f3, hizo un buen trabajo respondiendo al desastre y ayudando a apagar el incendio. Pero en los a\u00f1os previos a la cat\u00e1strofe, ignor\u00f3 las se\u00f1ales de advertencia del peligro econ\u00f3mico o avanz\u00f3 en pol\u00edticas que contribuyeron directamente al futuro infierno.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAhora que ha sido reconfirmado en su puesto en la Reserva Federal, espero que adopte un nuevo rumbo y traiga un enfoque renovado a nuestros esfuerzos nacionales para ayudar a las familias estadounidenses a recuperarse de esta recesi\u00f3n. Durante demasiado tiempo, el \u00e9xito econ\u00f3mico de nuestra naci\u00f3n se ha medido por los altibajos de Wall Street, incluso cuando los salarios del trabajador promedio se estancaron y las familias se endeudaron cada vez m\u00e1s. Este camino no era sostenible y, al final, incluso Wall Street sufri\u00f3 la toma de riesgos imprudentes en nombre de las ganancias a corto plazo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHoy, son tiempos de auge nuevamente en Wall Street, pero muchas familias no han sido tan afortunadas. Han perdido trabajos, hogares y ahorros para la jubilaci\u00f3n. A medida que avanzamos, el presidente Bernanke ser\u00e1 un participante clave en el establecimiento de nuestra estrategia econ\u00f3mica, una estrategia que espero se centre en acciones que crear\u00e1n empleos y fortalecer\u00e1n la base financiera de nuestras familias. Espero trabajar con el presidente Bernanke para lograr ese objetivo\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WASHINGTON, DC &ndash; Today, the United States Senate voted to confirm Ben Bernanke to a second term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.&nbsp;
