The Financial Times has the story Bernanke muted on health of US economy.

The story is interesting for what it included:

Mr Bernanke said most unemployment is due to lack of demand rather than structural problems in the labour market, such as workers lacking the right skills, or being stuck in the wrong parts of the country.

and for what it did not include.  There was no mention of high taxes, too much regulation, or the infamous “uncertainty.”  I wonder if the people at Nightly Business Report, which I have stopped watching, read stories like this.  Perhaps their certainty that “uncertainty” is the cause of the problem makes it impossible to realize what it is that Bernanke does not say.  A case of the proverbial “dog that didn’t bark” syndrome?
