Laissez faire capitalism always results in the robber barons controlling all the capital and the people in slavery. The robber barons control wages, prices, politics. Utter disaster. Government not only has the right to entire the marketplace, it has an obligation to protect the people from the robber barons. The sad part is that the "wannabees" dont see that for the most part, they will be amongst the enslaved. The People now control majority shares of several of the largest businesses. Keep it
It seems like these hearings are designed to accomplish nothing. Dr. Paul gets 5 minutes of questions? Ridiculous. He needs at least 3 or 4 times that to actually get anywhere with Dr. Bernanke. They're always cut short and never seem to make any significant headway in understanding each other or in resolving their disagreements. There is so much more that needs to be discussed, starting with proper methodology of economic science. These hearings could be awesome if they wanted. Such a shame.
Do you really think that anyone in Congress or general public has an attention span longer than 5 minutes? The new congress is part of the Sesame Street generation.
Bernanke can't be that bad, he was respectful to Ron as usual, and yelled at those idiots that were leaving LOL. I don't like his ideas though and I continue to support Ron Paul.

We have to take the money away from the government and banking system.
If creating money and credit out of nothing could bring wealth it would have been done ages ago.
Every time this has been tried in the past it's failed, and this time will be no different.
