Bernanke-Bash of the Day

“In a more thoughtful body, he could lose his position.”

That’s Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), speaking to Politico’s Victoria McGrane about the left-right coalition forming against Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. A campaign that united the likes of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) probably got off the ground too late to really stop Bernanke — Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-Texas ) comment to Politico is how Bernanke’s award from Time magazine is a plus, because it informs Americans of just what the Fed is, and sets the table for a future campaign against it.
