Bernanke Sympathises With The Protesters

File this under: Total Absurdity

Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, who is the man most responsible for the current crisis state of the economy as a result of his manipulations of the money supply, says he can't blame the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

During a hearing last week before the Joint Economic Committee, Bernanke was asked about the ongoing protests and said, “They blame, with some justification, the financial sector for getting us into this mess.”

Like a burglar playing it cool while being questioned by police in front of a building where the alarm is going off, Bernanke makes it sound as though the economy is some kind of machine and he is just some guy passing by. Ballsy man, ballsy.
