The best part, correction the scariest part, of this article by Robert Murphy at the Mises Daily is this:

When Bernanke made his infamous appearance on 60 Minutes, most analysts understandably focused on his absurd claim that he wasn’t printing money. But the thing that most alarmed me was this exchange (starting at about 7:20 in this video):

BERNANKE: There really is no problem with raising
rates, tightening monetary policy, slowing the economy, reducing
inflation at the appropriate time. ?

Q: You have what degree of confidence in your ability to control this?

BERNANKE: A hundred percent.

Now that should be terrifying. Realistically, Bernanke shouldn’t
have 100 percent confidence that he can control his toaster. I mean, he
might turn the dial up too high, or someone might spill water on it. It
could happen.

The charts in this article are terrifying!
