Bernanke hasn’t a clue!!Bernanke warns on deficits as Treasury rates rise
Add Ben to the list of people who don’t understand our monetary system!
Bernanke warns on deficits as Treasury rates rise: Part II
Someone ought to tell Bernanke that the Fed sets rates. PERIOD!! END OF STORY!!!
Bernanke: start work now to curb US budget deficit
Curb the budget, reduce private sector savings. The relationship’s an identity, Ben!
I hope you enjoyed this market rally over the past three months because if the Administration follows Bernanke’s advice–and it’s likely that they will-kiss the rally goodbye and say, “Hello,” to new lows in the market sometime later this year or next year. Depends on when and how fast they “curb the deficit.”
