P.R.I.N.T. Money, That’s how Ben’s Gonna fix the Economy

09/21/10 Stockholm, Sweden – The FreeCreditReport.com commercials are always hilarious. The nation’s fiscal mess… not so much. But, sometimes a little laughter helps to ease the pain.

Appropriately, this parody of the “New Car” ad stars several of America’s biggest credit-wreckers-in-chief: Fed head Ben Bernanke alongside Treasury Secretaries Hank Paulson and Tim Geithner. Times may change, but their money-printing solutions stay the same… at least inconsistency is one of few skills this team ain’t lacking.

This clip was originally written and produced at Flinch Studio for the Blog Maverick website, but came to our attention via a recent post on The Big Picture.
