: : I can't believe the 2012 Presidential campaign is already starting. Republicans accusing the Democrats of being socialists, the Democrats accusing the Republicans of being willing to destroy the economy just to get elected. This is going to be a wild one.
: : What does everyone on this forum think?
: Wild is right. CNN is reporting that Perry said Bernanke's printing of money is politically motivated and almost treason. Wow, accusations of treason in the first week of the campaign. More than wild--crazy.
Somebody running for President said Bernanke prints money? Bernanke is the head of the fed. They don't print money. All they can do is set interest rates. Whoever made that comment obviously knows nothing about how government works. Sounds like a GW Bush type of no-nothing politician. Is this déjà vu all over again?
