Ben Bernanke As a Kid
So this picture of Ben Bernanke as a kid as been going around the web of late. Yes, it's a joke about how much Bernanke likes to throw money around via quantitative easing and or his nickname of "Helicopter Ben", coming to save the day with his printing press. Bernanke, a student of The Great Depression, believes that buying assets will keep interest rates low and prevent a deeper collapse in the economy - plus, stop deflation. But where's the famous Ben Bernanke beard? Can this really be Bernanke without a beard? He sure looks like he's having a good Tagged beard, Ben Bernanke, kid, throwing moneyBen Bernanke’s Diary
Reuters Pictures It's about time that arrogant son of a bitch Jamie Dimon got some comeuppance. To think he called me out at my own meeting, asking about removing some regulations, saying, "has anyone bothered to study the cumulative effect of these things." That's a laugh, especially when he doesn't even know what's going on at his own bank. Tempest in a teapot. That's hilarious. I'm happy to see his hair turn whiter and whiter everyday. Just look at my beard and you can see how I suffered through the financial crisis. Dimon strolled around here like he's mister Tagged Ben Bernanke, can't breathe, diary, jamie dimon

Claiming he wasn't afraid to let everyone in attendance know about "the real mess we're in," Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke reportedly got drunk Tuesday and told everyone at Elwood's Corner Tavern about how absolutely f**cked the U.S. economy actually is. Bernanke, who sources confirmed was "totally sloshed," arrived at the drinking establishment at approximately 5:30 p.m., ensconced himself upon a bar stool, and consumed several bottles of Miller High Life and a half-dozen shots of whiskey while loudly proclaiming to any patron who would listen that the economic outlook was "pretty goddamned awful if you want the God's honest truth."

It seems like Benny Bernanke ducked out while all of this debit limit political infighting was taking place. Where was he though? Was he trimming his beard? Watching more baseball games?

Ben Bernanke Confronted By Jamie Dimon
Reuters Pictures Update: watch video of Dimon's question here Jamie Dimon confronted Ben Bernanke in a way, asking him what will be the effect of all these regulations on the banks. And have they studied this and how it will affect the economy and the jobs market in particular. Does the federal reserve know what they're doing?
