Ben Bernanke Speaks on Financial Education, But Not Monetary Policy

Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, was speaking today at a town hall meeting with teachers about the importance of financial education.  Today was more broad and the notes do not include any details discussing monetary policy.  As this is not exactly expected to cover anything tied to quantitative easing, European financial crisis, and other key issues, it is likely to only be monitored in case he slips up and accidentally said anything worth repeating.

His speech can be seen here for an audio-video format.
