If the account of Bernanke is true, he should be fired. What an asshole. And most anyone with a brain knows the US economy is screwed and that unemployment is pushing 20%.
Why doesn’t he go stone sober on TV and tell the truth? He’s coward and a rip off artists himself and in it for his own self interest. What’s amazing is that no one in the bar put a fist in his face for all that he’s done… and simply let him act like a drunk asshole as opposed to a sober one.
SanderO Says:
James Corbet does some decent reports… he should lose the green screen with the television news displays in the background and get a better fitting suit. He would get more mileage if he paid more attention to the medium… sad that it is.
