		<description><![CDATA[Simon Jonson has suggested that (ultra liberal inflationist and debt multiplier) Paul Krugman be made Fed Chairman &#8211; instead of the bankster Bernanke.  Bernanke definitely needs to go &#8230;but to replace him with Krugman?  Simon Johnson has gone nuts and his sidekick Kwak has such a liberal political bias that it gets in the way [...]]]></description>

Where there is obfuscation &#8211; there is something to hide.  Bloomberg&#8217;s effort to make the FED disclose firms benefiting from the bailouts is being dragged out by the guilty FED and its chief, Ben Bernanke.   This is why we need to pass Paul&#8217;s Audit the FED bill post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bernanke and Geithner both argue that the FED should be free from congressional audit review.  While this &#8220;freedom&#8221; is in effect, the FED is truly free to do whatever its owners, the banks, tell it to do.  Minyanville has a great piece that argues that &#8220;the Federal Reserve has been responsible for every financial crisis [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mish reminds us that In his public meetings to defend his actions in late July, Ben Bernanke said: &#8220;It takes GDP growth of about 2.5 percent to keep the jobless rate constant. But the Fed expects growth of only about 1 percent in the last six months of the year. So that&#8217;s not enough to [...]]]></description>
