CNBC's Rick Santelli had some tough talk for the Federal Reserve and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on CNBC Wednesday morning.

"The one question I want to ask Ben is, 'Ben, what are you afraid of?'" Santelli asked.

"CNBC, all the channels that cover business, we have person after person after person, buy side, sell side, upside, downside, how is the economy? The economy is great. What about stocks? You got to buy them. What if they break? You have to buy the dips. What's wrong with the economy? I don't hear these people saying anything is wrong with the economy. So what's wrong, Ben? Why can't we get out of crisis management mode?" Santelli said.

That was a pretty epic rant. Santelli is spot on.

He looked liked he was ready to body-slam the Ben Bernank.

Yep, Ben Bernank, Paul Krugman, 99% of the talking heads on cable news, Obama, all say the economy is fine and not on the verge of crashing. We're in a "recovery" after all.

Those people are always right about these things.

Santelli is a good guy and I get the feeling he knows he isn't exactly everyone's favorite after doing rants like that. I can only imagine walking in the pit after he does stuff like this.
