Sen. Bunning speak! He's alive! (About Bernanke)
Says he's not pleased that Bernanke was nominated by * to replace Greenspan.

To be honest, I don't have a big problem with Greenspan. He's given in to some spewings from time-to-time but considering the pro-wealthy, pro-corporate economic policy of this administration, Greenspan's done a decent job of working to keep inflation in check while making US treasuries appealing to foreign countries to keep our government operational. If Bunning has a big problem with Bernanke, then I have to wonder if he won't be a good replacement.

1. Yeah...
...I guess Greenspan's been great if you don't mind asset bubbles, runaway stealth inflation, bailouts of banks and failed hedge funds, the explosive growth of the risk derivatives markets, a collapsing currency, and the greatest level of fiat money creation in the history of the world.

And I'm sure Mr.- Helicopters of Money from the Sky - Bernanke will offer more of the same.

Other than that, I have no problem with either of them. ;)

2. Greenspan has presided over the demise of the Middle Class.
He's an Ayn Randian sociopath.

3. Greenspan doesn't set domestic economic policy
You can blame the disappearance of the Middle Class on the pro-corporate whores passing themselves off as Representatives, Senators, and Presidents.
