Ben Shalom Bernanke is the
Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve
Ben Bernanke was born on December 13,
1953 in Augusta, Georgia. He later moved to Dillon, South Carolina
where he grew up under the watchful eyes of his father, a pharmacist,
and his mother, a school teacher. The Bernankes were one of few
Jewish families in the area and
regularly attended the local synagogue by the name of Ohav Shalom.
Young Ben Bernanke followed the customs of his faith, learning Hebrew
from his grandfather who was also a professional teacher of Hebrew and
a Torah reader.

After graduating high school in 1971,
Bernanke attended Harvard College from which he graduated in 1975 with
a degree in economics. He weaseled a tenured position at
Princeton.
Now Benjamin is in charge of the US
financial system. Is this like a rat guarding the cheese?
