How much you wanna bet that Paulson or Bernanke gets a Nobel in Economics next year

[Mahkato]

I'd put $10 on it.

Of course, this time next year, $10 will buy a couple of paper clips probably.

 

[Eroberer]

Can you give me inflationary odds?

Or we can bet an ounce of silver.

 

[NinjaPirate]

I bet you 1/10oz of gold.

 

[weatherbill]

I'de love to see them win the nobel.....then many more people will wake up to the fact that mainstream media is full of SHIT!

 

[Dr.3D]

Seems winning a Nobel prize is not as hard as it used to be.
Consider Al Gore and his fake global warming agenda and him winning a Nobel.
Obviously, the prize is won by people who are globalists now.

Paulson - Time's Man of the Year?

 

[Scribbles]

I think they might nail them to a cross for this mess(figuratively), though that would be a happy day for some, if it does happen it will only be a scapegoat for other people who should be held responsible too.

I doubt it. Most Nobels aren't awarded until 10 - 20 years after the work is presented. Gore was the exception.

The beauty is that in 16 years it will appear that the committee gave "Reefer Madness" a Nobel prize.

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

What the 3 FINANCIAL AMIGOS; Sheila Blair, Hank Paulson, & Ben Bernake, should all receive a PURPLE HEART... Those SOCIOPATHS should be awarded in front of PrimeTIME TV right through their hearts!

OR

Maybe EVERY American TAXPAYER should receive multiple PURPLE HEART medals for ALL these government CLOWNS for wounding the; the standard/cost of living, 401Ks, bank accounts, investments, wallets, purses, and Piggy Banks!

PS: Don't forget to award those government hacks the Propaganda & Larceny Awards!

I'd say it's a slam dunk.

After all we have the Al Gore model as a precedent.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle


The Peter Principle is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence."

Then he is awarded a Nobel Pirze.

Then there is the Dilbert Principle:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dilbert_Principle

The Dilbert Principle refers to a 1990s satirical observation by Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams stating that companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management (generally middle management), in order to limit the amount of damage they're capable of doing.

This one's kind of interesting:

Edwards' law — "You cannot apply a technological solution to a sociological problem."

And the ever-popular Callahan's Principle:

Callahan's Principle — You can't argue with stupid. A corollary to Hanlon's razor and Finagle's law, normally taking the form "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."

Not to mention, but I will anyway, the charming oxymoron:

Sturgeon's law — "Nothing is always absolutely so." Derived from a quote by science fiction author Theodore Sturgeon (1918–1985)

Oh, forget being figurative. Just do it!

Paulson - Time's Man of the Year?

That would be directly related to whether or not Time was on the receiving end of a bailout.

 

[the count]

They are a big part of the problem, NOT the solution

i called bernanke and paulson idiots last year in august and i repeat it now. everytime i hear some guy on cnbc say 'how happy' they are to have a guy like hank paulson at the fed i yell at the screen, YOU IDIOT, HE'S PARTLY TO BLAME FOR NOT SEEING THE FREIGHT TRAIN COMING AT US IN THE TUNNEL! they could have forced banks to refinance adjustable mortgages and thus save thousands their homes, but noooooo that would have meant taking on big banking and bush. that would have meant getting in the way of free markets.... well, now we have a socialized banking system!

obviously many analysts and traders on tv don't know anything about how our economy really works.

This silent KILLERS received a MEDALS! He and ALAN GREENSPAN, 'LIT THE FUSE' on the Housing/CDS Nuclear Bomb. They killed the LONG BOND in 2001.

Remember... Alan Greenspan served an unprecedented 5 terms as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, of course he bailed like a rat on a sinking ship when he realized the Financial Holocaust he help create was about to hit.
