Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008, before the Joint Economic Committee. The Fed chief repeated his warning of dire economic consequences if a bailout isn't enacted and if credit woes persist. Neither businesses nor consumers would be able to borrow money, he said, and such a scenario could result in the world's largest economy grinding to a halt.
