catbirdseat Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 He may be a crony but at least he actually once actually served on the Federal Reserve Board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 He's not a crony - he's only been a bushie for a few months. A crony would have been picking some supplyside quack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 The October 15th ed of The Economist covered Alan Greenspan's impending departure, and Mr Bernanke was then already listed as the favored replacement for Mr Greenspan (page 29). It said a respected monetary economist, former Fed Governor, and currently chairman of Mr Bush's Council of Economic Advisors (CEA)...He is the best monetary economist of any of the cadidates and was an unusually high profile Fed governor. But he has little policymaking experience and just recently moved to the White House. While The Economist officially supported another nominee, Don Kohn, on this issue George W Bush made a timely and very acceptable decision to nominate Mr Bernanke.

tomtom Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Come on folks, Bush selected him. He was born in the red state of Georgia and grew up in the red state of South Carolina. You know, states where everyone is stooopid. He's a financial contributor to the Republican party. Where's the terminal indignation and self righteousness? Where's the hatred and anger?

Mal_Con Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Well seeing as a bunch of bushies are about to have their heads handed to them on a platter manyana, a moderate economist in charge of the fed seems alot less offensive thn what could have been, namely a born agin economist who promises that when baby jeeeeezzus comes agin all will be great and we donahafta conserve nothin.

Oh, we have enough faith that his red state ways were thoroughly expunged at Harvard, any lingering maladies were treated at Princeton, and Stanford saw fit to imbue him with Golden State liberalism.

Tom, I am surprised to hear statements like that from you, a son of the South, yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
