I was gonna start a thread on Bernanke, but might as well ask it here. For a guy who's supposedly a scholar on the Great Depression and can't be fired by a politician, why the hell is he not screaming from the mountain tops that we are on a kamikaze course? People will listen to him and even if he can't convince the POTUS and Congress, he does influence investors and public opinion, which sometimes affects policy. Surely, Bernanke knows we are killing ourselves with overspending. Why isn't he being more vocal about it?
