President Elect Palin demands Bernake 'cease and desist'.
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is deeply concerned about the Federal Reserve's plan to buy $600 billion worth of U.S. bonds to boost the economy, placing the former vice presidential candidate in line with Germany in questioning U.S. monetary policy.

Palin is expected to demand that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke "cease and desist" the stimulus injection, according to National Review Online, which said it obtained snippets of Palin's prepared remarks scheduled for Monday before a trade association in Phoenix.

2. She doesn't even understand what it means
This nobody has to comment on everything, as if anyone really cares what is floating around between her two ears. Why would a "trade association" call her to speak? As if she has any knowledge about anything.

19. I doubt it. I don't think she understands/cares to understand
anything about policy. It just amazes me that any organization will pay her to take the stage and talk about things she has no clue about.

4. I don't know whether this action by the Fed is a good idea or not, but...
... I do know that Failin Palin knows even less about economic policy than I do.

Who is she to demand anything?! Demand? Really?

Well Sarah, I demand that you go away and shut the fuck up!!

8. Ask her to explain, using as many words and taking as much time as she needs,
exactly what the role of the Federal Reserve is in our economy, and how the member banks function.

11. I Would Love It If Someone Asked Her What "Quantative Easing" Means
and how it positively and negatively affects the economy. Also, "In what regard, Charlie?", is not an answer.
