Mortgage Mess; Bernanke; Mid-Term Closing Arguments

It's impossible to overestimate the potential damage to the US economy and to capitalism itself if the notion of property rights is undermined; what will happen with all these robo-mortgages and what is MERS anyway? Ben Bernancke to the rescue: will the fed step in? Will help our economy? Will it hurt the global economy? And these are the last few weeks for final arguments on behalf of their parties; have Dems made the case? Are Republicans being forced into positions even they don't want to hold?

It's impossible to overestimate the potential damage to the US economy and to capitalism itself if the notion of property rights is undermined; what will happen with all these robo-mortgages and what is MERS anyway? Ben Bernancke to the rescue: will the fed step in? Will help our economy? Will it hurt the global economy? And these are the last few weeks for final arguments on behalf of their parties; have Dems made the case? Are Republicans being forced into positions even they don't want to hold? (Arianna Huffington is away; David Frum sits in for an ailing Tony Blankley.)
