Discussion about
He probably wishes he hadn’t said it, the part about the Federal Reserve not printing money and his 100 percent confidence in his ability to raise interest rates at the appropriate time to prevent an acceleration of inflation. But he did. The Fed does (print money). And nothing is 100 percent certain in this world, except death and taxes. So what on earth was Ben Bernanke thinking when he talked to Scott Pelley on CBS’s “60 Minutes” Sunday night? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-08/bernanke-s-21-month-u-turn-takes-60-minutes-commentary-by-caroline-baum.html

I saw the thought bubble over Ben's head. He was thinking that this thread has nothing to do with NYC residential real estate, and should not be on a StreetEasy discussion board. His next thought bubble said you should be banned if you can't stay on topic.

No, he was thinking that you selectively place that criticism on my posts and my posts only.

The comment-count tricked me into opening one of the regular morning old-news posts.
