"Did he really say that?"

Yep. He sure did. Remember when Ben Bernanke said that he would drop money out of a helicopter?

I remember. I remember chuckling a little (you've got to laugh at some of this stuff or you'll loose all sanity and start chewing through your furniture).

Those who care to take a ride in the way back machine remember that in 2002 Bernanke claimed that money isn't real and that being unreal that the government could print as much of it as they wanted and drop it from a helicopter.

Just...wow.

This is obviously absurd. I don't even have anything to say to it, other than this.

Oh, and the Onion had this to say.

Why these links you ask? Why not links dedicated to tearing apart what Helicopter Ben has to say? Read "The Case Against the Fed" and you're questions will be answered. For now, just...laugh a little.
