Description:

Hear the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke's address at the Children's Defense Fund National Conference in Cincinnati Ohio. In his own words "early childhood programs are a good investment with inflation-adjusted annual rates of return on the funds dedicated to these programs, estimated to reach 10 percent or higher. Very few alternative investments can promise that kind of return."
