He is not a Federal employee and is "appointed" only as a meaningless action by the president after the banks decide who their boy will be in DC. It is a disgustingly immoral set up to have someone in charge of our money who has no vested interest in our keeping our money. This is a sham that MUST be removed before this country has any hope of recovering. Oh, and the "expert" Greenspan is ENTIRELY to blame for this melt down, not Berneke. Greenspan saw the disaster he made on the horizon and decided to bail and let the next guy take the fall. Not that he cares as he managed to make his piles of money as did his cronies who were raping the banks they were leading. Good job, boys, you did more damage to this country in the name of your greed than the Nazis and Communists could dream of doing.

A shame, really, as Americans aren't inclined to save money anyway. Yep, it encourages people to spend instead of save. A shame, really, as Americans aren’t inclined to save money anyway.
