    Ken:

    You go that right. Larry shifts to the side. Maybe he will return to a University presidency somewhere?

    That’s a stupid statement to make considering most voters don’t know the name or care. There is also the fact that Yellen isn’t much better. Which most people haven’t the slightest clue about either. I would delete this post, you’re embarrassing yourself.

    It is a bit of a stretch to assert that the appt. of the Fed. Reserve Chair would effect the mid-term elections. Directly or indirectly as a result of some sudden change in the economy. There isn’t gooing to be a change in the economy based on who is the Fed. Chair. Stormy asks in another post why the imbalance of trade is not more often pointed to as a cause of our economic malaise. It’s the right question, but begging for an answer we’re not going to get. If the Dems. with or without WH cooperation, don’t attack the imports from exploitation central issue the economy is going to continue to slumber and drag on. The wealthiest owners of finance and distribution continue to grow fat on the backs of workers world wide.

    I don’t think that that will happen any time soon, if ever. There is too much money in our political system. That money no matter, how it is described, has resulted in an increasing strangle hold on the electoral process. Political Action Committees abound and fund deceptive presentations of major economic issues. So-called research organizations are funded for the exclusive purpose of adding to that fund of obfuscatory discussion. Even much of the news media is on the corporate payroll and seemingly unable to too great an extent to report the facts of an issue and point out the deceptions that abound.
