Accurate diagnosis, but precisely the wrong prescription

Christine Lagarde, managing director of the IMF, says the world economy is entering a "dangerous new phase."  But then she says she's impressed with the dog vomit the MEC presented in his prattle to Congress last evening.

The stock market is decidedly unimpressed with what the MEC - and Bernanke - had to say.
