Miserable Failure

I'm not optimistic that a Bernanke replacement would be an improvement, but it's important to recognize and highlight the fact that he failed at his job. From email:

WASHINGTON, DC – Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley, a member of the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Development, issued the following statement on his intention to vote against Ben Bernanke’s nomination to a second term as Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:

“Tomorrow, I will vote against confirming Ben Bernanke as Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The reason, in short, is that as Chairman, Dr. Bernanke failed to recognize or remedy the factors that paved the road to this dark and difficult recession. Following our economic collapse, it is also apparent that he has not changed his overall approach to prioritizing Wall Street over American families.
