Mitt Romney said Thursday that he would replace Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, dismissing the advice of a top adviser who suggested this week that the chairman should be considered for a third term.

Well, if he’s not going to end it (and I’m still on the fence myself on whether that would be a good idea or not)....it would be good for Bernanke to go. Preferably in handcuffs, but good that Mitt would send him packing.
Hopefully on that note, Mitt will also put in someone who will change things for the better.
Applause. Bernanke should also be charged with felonious theft.
Now, if we could hear what Romney would do with all the Czars.
I not yet heard anything about them.
Any replacement will be unable to interrupt the continuation of the fun of default, bond collapse, repudiation, currency adjustment ahead. Have fun. Enjoy the slide. Watch the local foreclosures, layoffs and general depositions like a great picture show.
No. Laffer is right on taxation, but, unfortunately, he's down with printing money as a means to spur the economy. Ron Paul for Fed Chairman!
Fed Chairman is Ron Paul's special purpose.
What if the republican controlled house vote articles of impeachment against the senate democrats? How would that work?
And what about Greenspan. They're not elected officials. They were both in on the CRA. There must be a zillion SEC/banking-fraud crimes with which they could be charged and prosecuted. Life in jail.
Throw Andrea Mitchell in there too, she's just another RAT accomplice.
Romney should gut the EPA of all ‘Agenda 21’ hacks working for the U.N., the Marxists in the State Dept., and especially the newly hired schizophrenic Fascist midgets at the DOJ!
There must be; I agree. Lock them all up and throw away the key.
Reinhart has been shamelessly campaigning for the slot on all the biz networks...kicking ole Ben to the curb all day long.

In the world of the possible, we will never get rid of a national bank, I.e., the Fed. The gov’t needs it to get loans. BUT, it is possible to end the ban on allowing private banks to issue notes/money. Not crazy: this was the US system for 80 years, it was quite solid, and with the modern credit card system, we are not that far away. The advantage of this is that the Fed has to compete with the private sector to maintain he value of dollars, and it worked with the 1st and second BUS.
Exhibit A - the whole Valerie Plame imbroglio - typical example.
he was appointed by Bush to the current position. He is an inflation hawk on the Fed. Read, if you can, the latest news articles about him.
He sounds fairly reasonable to me. I don’t need Ron Paul’s permission to support some one.
