FT Alphaville � El-Erian: What to expect from Bernanke’s report to congress: "the Fed has five broad (and not mutually exclusive) approaches available if it deems—and I suspect it is not ready to do so yet—that additional policy actions are needed: hyper time extend the “exceptionally low for an extended period” interest rate signal; push banks to lend more by cutting the interest it pays on reserves; directly extend loans to certain segments of the non-financial economy; resume asset purchases; and cap interest rates."
Some other views on the options:
