Chimpenomics

New Federal Reserve Chairman
Bubbles Bernanke
Scientists claim Capuchin monkeys understand the value of money*. Well I've heard of supply side economics, trickle down economics, and even experienced failed Obamanomics, but have never heard of Chimpenomics. Maybe humans aren't the only primates who could run the Federal Reserve, although a chimps concept of a deficit is having one banana short of a bunch. Ben Bernanke's concept of money is that it grows on trees, a coincidence? Me thinks not.
