Bernanke Clarifies His Position. "I was not in denial, I was LYING."

Washington, DC (BFBE):  Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, Ben Bernanke, spoke briefly with BFBE this morning by phone to clarify his positions on the economy before the Financial Crisis hit in August, 2008.

According to Bernanke, "I was not in denial about the state of the economy, I was lying.  Why are you acting shocked?   Any idiot could have seen that and now people are trying to blame me.  It's not my responsibility to give the public accurate information on the state of the economy and their fiancial activities.  Pick up a book!  Do it yourself!  Take some responsibility!

"All I can tell you is almost all of my friends have come through this time of uncertainly pretty darn well, thank you very much.  Did they listen to me?  No way!  They saw the economy was going to hell in a hand basket and prepared for it.  Now, with the help of your tax dollars, they're making a tidy profit scooping up the assets of all you mouth breathers out there.  I don't hear them complaining about me lying."

When asked if Mr. Bernanke's history of misleading statements in regards to the economy should make consumers wary of his current predictions of the financial crisis ending later this year, he replied, "Oh, of course not!  Everything is good, good, good.  Never better.  In fact, this is the time to spend.  Get out there.  Stimulate the economy.  Run up those credit cards.  Just remember, the fundamentals of the economy remain sound.  So, I cannot think of a better time to overextend yourself."
