RE:"I still like both of those guys Jim. I think they saved the world from a terrible global depression. They spent a lot of money - but you don't meter the water when your house is burning down."

It's difficult to prove that because: 1. we aren't out of the woods yet and 2. It's very difficult to prove a negative. (something that didn't happen). Like proving Bushes homeland security prevented another 9/11.

Geithner was not part of the discussion. The point I was making is that Bernanke had a hand in getting us into the bubble. Even to the point where he could have helped prevent it. He was a Greenspan disciple. Not to mention taking care of his banker buddies along with Paulson. What do you think of Paulson, BTW?

As far as like or dislike. That's a matter of personality and it doesn't matter. They both seem like OK guys to me.
