Before They Put a Tax on Humor — Remember This One?

Bailouts, inflation, bills up, savings down… Time to re-visit the funniest video ever made about the Federal Reserve. I still don’t know who these geniuses were at Columbia Business School, but here’s the brilliant youtube clip that first made the rounds when President Bush passed over former Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Glenn Hubbard, and appointed Ben Bernanke to chair the Fed: Every Breath You Take.

(Hubbard became Dean at Columbia Business School).

Claudia, that is brilliant! Four star brilliant.

I want to laugh and cry at the same time. It doesn’t get any better than that.

A thousand thank-youze.

Great post, hits the spot.

The candy Bernanke’s Federal Reserve hands out, is heavily laced; and substantially weakens capitalism.

Smells like a World Government play; for sure, not a Smart Government play.

Probably, “Bush play” captures it. We might as well have FDR.
