If Liz were Queen

Wait a minute!  Yes, now it is clearer.  I see a Hedge Fund position in my future.

Queen’s Comments: Last Fall Alan Greenspan kicked the conservatives  as well as Ayn Rand, Our Lady of GOP, in the ass by essentially saying that the conservative economic neo-liberal ideology that the USA has been following for 30 years (and eating the middle-class alive) is broken.  However, only a month or two later Mr. Greenspan joined a hedge fund (in January of this year) .

Today I read a report in the Daily Beast commenting on an announcement in the New York Times that Bernanke is now finally crying UNCLE.  I wonder if he too is moving his chips over to a hedge fund to fully position himself to take advantage of the sellout of bad debts at a loss to the American taxpayers?  It’s sure to be around the corner with a jackass like Geithner in charge.

The latest from the “Better late than never” category: Ben Bernanke has said that the methods of managing the financial system need “an overhaul.” Speaking to the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve chairman said, “Strong and effective regulation and supervision of banking institutions, although necessary… are not sufficient by themselves to achieve this aim,” indicating that a broader change in culture at the Fed is necessary. Bernanke also called for the creation of a new government body geared toward risk management that would detect potential disasters like the housing bubble before they burst. And in a statement sure to elate anchors at CNBC, he called for “especially close” supervision of large companies like Citigroup and AIG that are often called “too big to fail.” Bernanke’s optimistic remarks were greeted very favorably on Wall Street, where the Dow rose over 300 points at one point early this afternoon.
