Bernanke’s view is if the Fed provides liquidity, credit will flow
and lower the price of loans, feeding pent-up demand for homes,
cars, credit-card borrowing and capital expenditures by business in
the depths of the worst recession in a generation.
Analysts are skeptical. “The concern about the TALF is not so much
the investor interest in it, but the availability of eligible”
securities to buy, given lack of consumer demand for new debt, said
Tilton of Goldman Sachs.
Consumers will borrow if they see solid job prospects and rising
wealth, economists said. Right now, neither condition is in place.
The unemployment rate in February was 8.1 percent, up almost 2
percentage points in the past six months. Household wealth fell by a
record $5.1 trillion last quarter. Personal savings as a percent of
disposable income has risen every month since August.
