[Texan4Life]

Bernanke = Superman?

I give that a thumbs down.

 

[Fight-n-Mad]

Today Bernanke is testing out his theory in the most dramatic way, with the entire globe serving as his laboratory.

He sounds more like a mad scientist than a Superman.

hopefully that's a typo, and should read:
Is Bernake superman? Unlikely.

Why are people calling him Helicopter man?

 

[DFF]

In 2002, when the word "deflation" began appearing in the business news, Bernanke gave a speech about deflation. In that speech, he mentioned that the government in a fiat money system owns the physical means of creating money. Control of the means of production for money implies that the government can always avoid deflation by simply issuing more money. (He referred to a statement made by Milton Friedman about using a "helicopter drop" of money into the economy to fight deflation.) Bernanke's critics have since referred to him as "Helicopter Ben" or to his "helicopter printing press".

I'd like to believe it. Sadly, I can't and most will.

To paraphrase Henry Ford "If the people knew what was being done with their money, there'd probably be a revolt tomorrow."

Yes, but how would Yoda say it?

That picture scares me for some reason. Reminiscent of state portraits
of socialist/fascist leaders. The troubled compassionate Übermensch
deep in thoughts of how best to run our lives.
