So this morning we read that Larry "Crash" Summers wants to take over as Chairman of the Federal Reserve (Hat tip to xchrom at DU.)
Let's review Larry's astonishing record:
Under Clinton, helped engineer the end of bank regulation and nearly-free trade with China and other microwage nations. CRASH!
Went to Harvard, pissed off nearly the entire faculty and lost billions gambling with the endowment. CRASH!
Pulled back to the White House by the Banker President, helped engineer a "recovery" that has made trillions for the wealthiest, lost hundreds of billions for the rest of us, and saved the bankers. CRASH!
And now Larry wants the keys back.
"Crawling from the wreckage!
Crawling from the wreckage!
You'd think by now at least
my half a brain would get the message!
Crawling from the wreckage!
Crawling from the wreckage!
Into a brand new car...
