I still remember Bernanke’s pronouncements before the 2008 crash that everything is just fine. It’s hard to not conclude that they either aren’t very competent or are playing political games.

The Fed chair saying "we're fucked" is, on its own, enough to cause a credit crisis. (This is why the Fed doesn't tend to make blanket forward-looking statements like "everything is just fine.")

I am not aware of them silently doing something about the mortgage bubble either.
