DEBT CEILING: In a speech Tuesday, Bernanke also said Congress should raise the federal debt limit to prevent the country from defaulting on the government's debt.
NEXT YEAR: The Fed chairman said if Congress resolves these issues and comes up with a credible plan to deal with the country's long-term deficit problems it could "help make the new year a very good one for the American economy."
