What’s on Ben’s mind?
We’ve created a quick and dirty word cloud of what Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said in his historic press conference this afternoon. Words he used more often are larger than less-used words. For bonus points try to find the word “jobs” in there:
Update: Looks like Paul Krugman and Ezra Klein took note of our our cloud. Thanks for the links guys - we’re glad to help out anytime!
Word cloud created using Wordle.net.
I think that the Fed can only do so much. The president and Congress apparently cannot do their share, and I suspect they are too concerned about getting reelected. We might just need another agency to manage energy and another for banking, and another for business. I don’t think Congress or Obama can do their jobs with the people they have.
