Bernanke and Geithner have got almost everything wrong but they are both still there.

Too much of an embarrassment for this admin to get rid of them now, as that would be admitting a mistake.

Yes, and these guys along with Larry Summers have no solutions to our broken economy, in fact they are a big part of the problem. The biggest problem of all though is who still controls our monetary system.

What says you? ...is it time to officially admit this is the third depression? Would such a declaration cause more problems or does everyone pretty much realize where we are by now?
Another fear-mongering piece from Paul Krugman, the guy who flip-flops on economic policy every few years. It's amazing the guy actually won a noble prize.

American Thinker: Paul Krugman, the Self-Contradicting Economist

And no, trying to take our debt to the level of Greece or Portugal is probably not a good idea, even if the bond markets are letting us do that RIGHT NOW.

Well I think they could replace Geithner and have a chance.

But not Bernake..he's taken us too far down his personal rabbit hole according to his thinking based on his study of the Great Depression.
We've turned into a living experiment of his thinking of how the Great Depression could have been avoided.
