Bernanke fue nombrado por primera vez para el cargo por el ex presidente George W. Bush, y su mandato finaliza el domingo. El martes por la noche, el Senado program\u00f3 una votaci\u00f3n de clausura para el jueves, lo que significa que la administraci\u00f3n y los l\u00edderes dem\u00f3crata y republicano del Senado creen que tienen los votos.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00fan as\u00ed, algunos senadores tanto de izquierda como (en su mayor\u00eda) de derecha se oponen a la idea, y Merkley pregunta por qu\u00e9 el Senado querr\u00eda confirmar al Bernanke que se sent\u00f3 en silencio en la junta de la Fed durante los primeros siete a\u00f1os que estuvo en \u00e9l.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEra Greenspan en filosof\u00eda\u201d, objeta Merkley. \u201cSent\u00eda que los bancos pod\u00edan regularse solos. Pens\u00e9 que hab\u00edamos aprendido esa lecci\u00f3n de la crisis de ahorro y pr\u00e9stamo\u201d. (La crisis de ahorro y pr\u00e9stamo de finales de los 80 y principios de los 90 le cost\u00f3 al pa\u00eds alrededor de $300 mil millones, lo que en estos d\u00edas parece una ganga).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstaba en una posici\u00f3n perfecta para decir que estos trucos y trampas no est\u00e1n bien\u201d, dice el senador. \u201cNo escuchamos nada de \u00e9l. Necesitamos a alguien que se haga cargo de estos problemas cuando no es f\u00e1cil\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Como se\u00f1ala Merkley, durante los siete a\u00f1os en que Bernanke estuvo en el directorio de la Fed, no tuvo nada que decir sobre la burbuja de los precios de la vivienda, las hipotecas de alto riesgo que la impulsaron o los derivados que casi derribaron todo a su alrededor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"Javascript:openWin('http:\/\/www.oregonlive.com\/news\/oregonian\/david_sarasohn\/index.ssf\/2010\/01\/financial_regulation_taking_it.html');\"><strong>Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
