We are so very screwed.....

I think we would be better off if Lyle "Chip" Chipperson headed the Fed.

Racing to head the Federal Reserve is proof positive that this guy hasn’t got a brain in his friggin head.

Why would anyone want to head the federal reserve.

Now I’’m just going from memory....but didn’t he get in trouble for suggesting “women aren’t as good at math”????

Will that opinion influence his hiring decisions there?

Lois Lerner admitted she's not too good at math, so he's covered.

"Sleepy" Larry Summers. Should fit in nicely with the other dwarves in the Obama circle. (No offense to dwarves, of course.)

Because Larry Summers has been such a genius in managing OPM (other peoples’ money...?)

The bank economist at the bank I'm employed by is already saying a Summers appointment means chaos for the Stock Market. Interest rates HAVE to go up sooner or later which really puts our country in a bind on the interest payment on the National Debt.

The Fed has to do something to keep all the printed money on the sidelines lest it cause inflation --- so guess where interest rates are headed?! Up, Up, UP! As interest rates go up,money will shift out of the market and into short term CD's and other short term investment vehicles that will return a guaranteed rate.

Yep, bond collapse, pushing even higher interest rates, then business slowdowns, market drops, layoffs,...a vicious cycle.

As if the Jews don’t have enough headaches.Can we please get someone other than a Jew heading up the Federal Reserve? How about a Kenyan like our president or someone from Zimbabwe or Chechnya? Larry Summers will just bring more complaints about Jews controlling this countries finances. (true sarcasm I am Jewish)
