Quote from hayman:
Let's not forget, he didn't see the train wreck coming at all. He is an overpaid knucklehead, as far as I'm concerned. I don't care how many Harvard degrees he has, he still doesn't know how to tie his shoes.
His average yearly salary is around $190,000.
I'm certainly not a fan of Bernanke nor of the FED, but for all the "work" he is putting in - regardless of the failed or successful policies, that salary is nothing. Like all government positions.
He'll make his real money from writing books and talking at seminars after he retires.
