Ben Bernanke has been nominated for a second term as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, just days after he was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. But many say both are controversial decisions, as Bernanke should be held responsible for the current financial crisis.

  • @TheElectrickCompany Well yeh... but ban the FED then party hard.

  • Beam me up Scotty. USA needs an enema.

  • Nice tits!

  • Man of the year? Just wait till its all over people will want his head

  • @joe80dman -

    "Wall Street moguls" were not bailed out.

    The govt. injected capital into the banking system to restore investor confidence and stem a run on the whole US banking system due to the Lehman collapse and subsequent credit freeze panic.

    The nine "Wall Street moguls" that were forced to accept the TARP capital injection have paid it all back with profit to the govt., except for Citibank.

    Congress has enumerated and implied powers to regulate commerce and the monetary system.

  • FED's been running a train on the American populace since 1913!

    I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You're right, we did it. We're very sorry. But thanks to you, we won't do it again.

    Glad we have the Glass-Steagall Act...

    ...we don't?

    Pity...

  • @averageworkingal: It is the Constitutional duty of Congress for the allotment of tax dollars. There are NO Constitutional provision for bailing out banks, and/or Wall Street moguls.

  • @joe80dman -

    Congress didn't create the hundreds of trillion dollar CDS market and the trillion dollar mortgage CDO market.

    Congress got out of the way of Ron Paul's "Liberty and the Free Market" and let it have it's way.

    "Liberty and the Free Market's " way caused the Great Recession when "Liberty and the Free Market's" Lehman Bros' bankruptcy caused a "Liberty and the Free Market" global credit freeze.

  • What for the American Russian news

  • I had to watch this twice to know what the hell they were on about... Was distracted somehow...
