Ryan Magdangal :: The Federal Reserve has four main responsibilities: 1) to conduct monetary policy in a way that leads to maximum employment and stable prices; 2) to maintain the safety and soundness of financial institutions; 3) to contain systemic risk in financial markets; 4) and to protect consumers against deceptive and unfair financial products.

Dear Asholemutherfukkersombitches:
Arianna Huffington -- The lobbyists not Bernanke should have been on the cover of Time magazine as I argued on Morning Joe: http://bit.ly/7HRhrM
Huff TV: Arianna Discusses Health Reform, State Of The Nation: 'The Lobbyists Are Winning'
bit.ly
Arianna was a guest on MSNBC's Morning Joe today to discuss the health care reform bill making its way through the Senate. She criticized the degree to which the legislation has been twisted into benefiting industry more than the public.

Stephen Frick Here's a question: Who exactly, among the other winners of Time's meaningless award, were more destructive than Bernanke? Stalin, Kissinger... That's as far as I get. I think Bernanke's a solid #3. But he still has some time to leap ahead of Kissinger. Death by unavoidable poverty in order to enrich Robber Bankers is no less a crime than death by warmongering.

Christopher Cwoww Lawless W won twice, Hitler and Stalin ( 2x) each won, and the Ayatollah Khomeini, Nixon 2x , Papa Bush, and Putin. The Person of the Year is not always "honored" for good deeds.

Karl Bauer I think Joe Lieberman should have won "Man of the Year".
Here's to you, Joe. May you and your wife enjoy a chalice of Uncle Sam's blood.
Happy Saturnalia.

Henry Coe I wish there was a better morning show for you to be on. The sound of Joe Scarborough's voice makes me want to puke. It's like the same allergic reaction I get from watching FNC.

Colin Bell Is it just me....I wonder why there aren't more people speaking out in the way Arianna is and making sense of what's happening. I haven't given up on Obama but there has to be some space for policy making between where he's been going and the change that's needed.

Patrick Darnell lobbyists have never lost... there is no opposition available for subversion... oh except the Internet.. Web and first line journalists... there is hope, -- oops that would bring on anarchy... oh well Sorry!
You know it is like this: has Bernanke ever had to beg somemone for $600 to help get his family and him through ?? No, you, neither? Bernanke is far too outside the loop to give me any hope.
“History is composed not only of what happened but of what didn't happen,” Stengel wrote in his editor’s note. “We've rarely had such a perfect revision of the cliché that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Bernanke didn't just learn from history; he wrote it himself and was damned if he was going to repeat it. Bernanke decided to do the opposite of what the Fed did back in the '30s: he would loosen the money supply as far as it would go, he would save as many banks as he could, and he wasn’t going to hector the American public about pulling up their socks.” http://www.foliomag.com/2009/time-picks-fed-chairman-person-year
TIME person of the Year in 2007? Anyone remember? That was Year of the Putin...
How about the year 2006? Sorry Arianna, it was lobbyists in a loose sense: Person of the TIME year 2006 was "YOU" -- what'd we do with that.. when we had it?
Woe is me, woe is me.
