There's no other job in public life that is like chairman of the Fed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No man should be in public office who can't make more money in private life.
The Fed has got to become a more democratic institution that is responsive to the needs of the middle class, not just Wall Street CEOs.
To me, the greatest asset of the Fed is the people. We have a tremendously dedicated staff... They feel proud to work for the Fed because this is such a competent, professional and well-respected organization.
It's a technical, fairly difficult job that has no particular political connotations, so I doubt there are any big campaign contributors dying to be on the Fed. And remember, it doesn't pay very well, certainly by Republican standards.
Everyone knows that a federal job is a lifetime job, and for many in Congress, it seems they have a lifetime job, too.
The Fed is the major U.S. firefighter. It's not the Treasury. It's not the Congress. We certainly saw that vividly in 2008.
In the past, Federal Reserve chairmen have not generally gone directly to the public.
Jobs are created in the private sector. Not by the president or the government unless they're government jobs.
The Fed is the biggest enemy of this economy. In fact, Ben Bernanke, as far as I'm concerned, he's public enemy No. 1. We're never going to have a recovery while this guy's in charge.
The presidency is not an office job.
