Ben bernanke

Forget governmental advisors and Harvard economists – we’d be better off setting our national financial policy with the “Duh!” advice from pop money shows. I would love to see Ben Bernanke call in to the Suze Orman show for the “Can I afford it?” segment…

SUZE: Hey everybody, we’ve got a special caller today! It’s Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke!

BEN: Hi Suze. Thanks for taking my call. Love your show. I’m a big fan.

SUZE: Thanks, Ben. Right back atcha. So, what can I do for you today?

BEN: Well, I know you normally take only one question per caller, but since these purchases are going to effect say, three hundred million or so people, you mind making an exception and running down a little list for me?

SUZE: No problem. Lay it on me. What do you want to buy?

BEN: Well, first I’d like to give everybody around $300 bucks, so it’ll cost me about $145 billion, give or take.

SUZE: I’m all for being generous Ben, but give me a little background here. Why do you want to make this purchase?
