The burden of proof regarding your interpretation of the Bernanke quote lies on you. It wasn't a discussion between Friedman and Bernanke, it was a speech given by Bernanke alone. If you choose to bend the context to fit your worldview, that's fine, but it's conjecture, and therefore not worthy of any serious discussion.
Steve Keen's 'Debunking Economics' can probably assist those who want some real insight into the economic crisis we are in. Listening to the guys who deliberately crashed the system feign incredulity over how this came to be is a useless endeavor, in my opinion.
