I interviewed Bob Bestani on my local TV program. He is running for the New Hampshire 1st Congressional District, and is a surprisingly smart guy who worked in Bush Sr.’s administration. Actually, Gietner used to report to him. Bestani is of Lebanese heritage and speaks fluent Arabic. He has actually heard of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, yet feels that the Fed did have a role; though it was dangerously overplayed. He believes that Congress should have forced the Fed to be accountable and to force AIG to reveal who they have made whole with taxpayer dollars, including any sovereign funds.
