Before Senator Corker got his turn to question Fed. Chair Bernanke, I caught up with him and asked the Senator a few of my own questions. It’s obvious that he didn’t want to ask Bernanke the question I suggested (Is Citigroup solvent?); but that leads to another question: why doesn’t a Senator charged with Fed oversight want the answer to such a question?

I know this news service leans progressive, but you should not think this is a partisan issue. No Democrat – as you’ll soon see – wants the answer either.
