Ben Bernacke as a child!
In other news, Ozzie Guillen said today that he probably won’t stick around next year to manage the Miami Marlins.
That’s fine, we won’t stand for another term of this tool either.
There is an intersection on I-95 at/near the first exit for SC in Dillon, SC (at Pedro’s South of the Border), and there is a sign there for their favourite son— “Ben Bernanke Interchange”. Not kidding it’s there.
His family (Jewish) were there during the WBTS (Civil War for others) and were.. merchant/bank types. He actually waited tables at some point at Pedro’s South of the Border— so he had early experience in “CLIPPING” people.
So, good riddance “Pedro” Bernanke, we hope you will quantitatively EASE yourself into some mega world bank role like all the other useless twits.
Yep...probably pretty busy settin' up offshore accounts for his wealth, and workin' out a deal to relocate to another country that doesn't honor extradition requests from the U.S.
If Romney was smart, he’d do what Volcker and Reagan did. He’d raise rates. People would scream bloody murder. But in the long run.
Only the too-big-to-fail banks that get free money from Uncle Ben and then lend it back to the U.S. Treasury for 3% will miss him when he goes.
He has devalued the dollar horribly....that’s why gold and oil are so high...and stolen the savings of retired people who are getting a quarter of a percent of interest for their diligence in “saving for their old age.” They should have blown it in Vegas and had some good memories, at least.
