I”ll tell you what Ken, if I could arrange it, I would have the Bank of China buy all our mortgage paper direct and eliminate Fannie, Freddie, Ben and AG Cuomo!

Hey, Fred, I’m with Mike. Any recommendations?

I’m not that enamored of Ben, either, but he’s kept us from going completely belly up. Al “I was wrong” Greenspan was just out-of-control. You’re right that he began to believe his press clippings a bit too much. Then, again, I’ve never had his libertarian leanings.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens when interest rates inevitably start to rise. I don’t think all the money on Wall Street can delay it too much longer. Who knows? Maybe we’ll just let the Chinese run the show.

Al and Ben were to blame? Really, I thought greed and lack of education on behalf of well…everyone was to blame.

Seems to me Al and Ben had nothing to do with passing the Community Reinvestment Act, the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 – all of which laid the groundwork for what happened in 2006.

Would I keep Ben in there given the choice? No, but there’s plenty of stupidity out there to fall back on if he’s gone, and they’re back in power.

Don’t keep me in suspence, throw out a few names that you do like for the gig, if not Ben.
