Impose ever-increasing minimum speed limits and then employ lots of extra morgue attendants

Money Week editor John Stepek has some unkind things to say about Ben Bernanke. Stepek says these unkind things quite well.

I wouldn’t want to put Bernanke in charge of road safety. His idea of efficient traffic management would be to impose ever-increasing minimum speed limits and then employ lots of extra morgue attendants and road sweepers in the hope that the carnage from multiple pile-ups could be cleaned up more quickly and so avoid traffic jams.
