I post this one half tongue-in-cheek (hat tip Scott). A picture of Ben Bernanke was shown round to players from the Super Bowl’s Indianapolis Colts (once a local team here in the Baltimore-Washington area, but that’s another story). These guys know their Fed Chairmen – that’s all I can say.
Pretty funny. Take a look. You gotta wonder what the Saints’ players said, especially since bankers do god’s work (tongue fully in cheek).
Update: I just found a Saints player making his call (video below). Since the Saints won, he better stick to football.
P.S. – the guy who guessed the unemployment rate is 38% is a lot closer to the mark than you think. More than 40% of Black teens (people very near his age) are unemployed.
