Loved your "novel", George. Not sure where you are on the spectrum of everybody knowing what's right in their own eyes, as is the case with your gentlemen talking, though one can understand how they got to thinking the way they do. That's real life, isn't it?

I think it was last week when 60 minutes had Powell, the newest Fed stooge, and his two predecessors on. Interesting. Anyway: in the first part of your conversation you had Bernanke saying: "Over the past 40 years, monetary policy has certainly provided every incentive to mortgage the future, to pay for present comfort." So true! What a tragedy!
