The slugger put to rest the concerns of Safeco Field being an unfriendly ballpark for hitters with 44 home runs... Читать дальше...

In his opinion piece, Bernanke was critical of the fact that for too long, the Fed was the only game in town in terms of pursuing efforts to get the country out of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression because of political gridlock in Congress.
