Unnamed Donor Wanted To Drop Cash From Helicopter
Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, earned the
derisive nickname "Helicopter Ben" for mentioning the idea of a
helicopter money-drop as a means to avoid economic deflation. But
in Wichita, Kansas, there were some well-off people who thought an
actual helicopter drop of money would be a nice thing to do at
Christmas time for their less fortunate neighbors.
