Santelli Silliness

I just caught the latest bit of high-decibel and high-pitched whinery from Rick Santelli on CNBC concerning the evils of Ben Bernanke and the Fed.  The problem for Rick is that he uses Phil Gramm to buttress his argument.  Earth to Rick:  there is no person in America whose economic views have been more discredited over the last ten years or so than Phil Gramm (except for maybe his wife).

You need a better argument, Rick.  Citing Phil Gramm only serves to disprove your idea.
