[Eric Blair 2084]

It is fun watching Ron Paul have Ben Bernanke actually answer questions directly. Greenspan had Paul and every other congresscritter pulling their hair out.

He was a a master at talking for 40 minutes in response to a Congressman’s inane question, using technical jargon. At the end everyone would either be asleep or too afraid to ask a question and look stupid.

I always thought Greenspan was a bit pedantic in his long answers, but at least he had some real-world experience in the financial markets.

Bernanke is in over his head, as we've seen just this week. If he lasts his term I'd be surprised.
