Activist Post: Bernanke Joins Elite Think Tank at The Brookings Institution

On January 31, he stepped down as Fed chairman. Janet Yellen replaced
him. He's entering a new world of million-dollar book deals. He'll make
$100,000 a pop speeches.



Expect appointments to corporate boards. CEOs value his rainmaking services.



On February 3, Brookings headlined "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to Join Economic Studies at Brookings."



He's a "Distinguished Fellow in Residence." He's affiliated with the
Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy (HCFMP). On January 16,
Brookings launched it.



Its board of trustees vice chair Glenn Hutchins contributed $10 million
in seed money. He co-founded the multi-billion dollar private equity
firm Silver Lake Partners. Guess what type policies HCFMP will endorse.




"We are proud to welcome chairman Bernanke into the
Brookings family," said president Strobe Talbot. He's Clinton's former
deputy secretary of state. He was directly involved in some of his worst
policies.
