RON PAUL TO BERNANKE: Federal Reserve is a Predatory Lender

[MrMosilo]

POLSKA ZA RONEM PAULEM!

[dilbertgeg]

I prefer Stephen Zarlenga's answer to ending the Fed. When the Fed was rolled out, there were numerous plans from numerous senators, and the idea sold to the public was freedom from the Gold Monopolists on Wall Street and their manipulation of the real (farmer/industrial) economy. But the central-credit solution was put forth by (and for) the former Gold Monopolists to become private Credit Monopolists, who are bound by ethic to NOT answer to Congress or the President, nor the People.

[SuperTruth77]

I used to respect my Father, founder & CEO of the successful business I recently inherited. However, looking through the accounts I see that for many years covert payments were made to a nexus of Illuminati, Reptilians & Bilderberg Group allies intent on fomenting terrorism, war, famine & disease in order to bring about a ‘New World Order’.

Now I get regular visits from guys demanding payments continue-I feel disgusted -the wealth I have inherited is tainted with blood & tears of the poor.

[Runswithscissors111]

@SuperTruth77 LOL Reptilians, that's nothing I have to make payments to the invisible purple ninja god and I am angry that he is funding the reserruction of Benito Mussolini who's ninja subordinates secretly plotted 9/11 and faked the pirate/ninja rivalry so that we can go to Iraq and lower furniture pricing. I am telling you it is a conspiracy of the ninja/pirate/Mussolini/fascist­/illuminati/reptiles to lower furniture prices.

[a4finger]

End the Fed!

Ron Paul for President 2012!

[LilRedRasta]

i want to punch the guy making all those ignorant faces in the back in the face

[assoonas1]

We must put tariffs on China products. They have been screwing the U.S. for far too long by manuipulating its currency. China is by far U.S. biggest problem.

[tjohn1986]

@assoonas1 yeah true, usually I am against tariffs but China artificially keeps their yuan low. So fuck em

[jhiken]

Ron Paul constantly humiliates Bernanke the skunk.

[SatchmoSings]

Creating The Fed was a dumb idea; all its done is promote fiscal irresponsibility with the attitude that The Fed will just "clean up the mess."

This whipsaws back and forth and this is why the dollar, whose value was stable since the dawn of The Republic is now worth less than four cents in 1912!

[SuperFifthwheel]

Why dont we just get our federal government and their screwed up beaurocracy out of our lives? Why do you people keep supporting more federal programs that have created a complicated system they cant even manage??

[SatchmoSings]

@SuperFifthwheel Where is the proof for what you claim?

Please explain it to us in 500 characters or less!

[SuperFifthwheel]

@SatchmoSings proof of what claim? WTH are you talking about?

[SatchmoSings]

SuperFifthwheel, you're so fucking stupid, ignorant and brain dead you can't even remember the thread you started 3 hours ago, that's how much of a LOSER you are!

[SuperFifthwheel]

@SatchmoSings I take it I proved you wrong and your mad huh? lol. Your the one who didnt know that the U.S. ws involved in the mandate. I showed you proof by the mandate itself. Nice defense mechanism you have btw.

[SatchmoSings]

SuperFifthwheel--

Well, after insulting your non-intelligence you finally woke up and remembered; and by the way, you ignoramus, that's "you're" NOT "your."

And no, the US was not involved in "The Mandate." That was strictly an issue for Great Britain.

[TainaAtheist1]

Ben Benanke is responsible not lowering interest rates when intelligent Americans, like myself, saw the signs of our current depression approaching. Terminate Ben Bernanke! Then, audit the Federal Reserve; force their transparency.

[1XMarksSpot]

@TainaAtheist1 Intelligent people don't admit that they are intelligent. Doing so makes them arrogant and thus stupid in the long run. (No offense)

[liveguns]

ron paul speaks the truth.

[demomanchaos]

Here's an idea, cut congressional paychecks in half, spend that money instead on foreign debt and it will be gone withint a year or two.. Eliminate the central bank system, that would instantly remove at least 90% of national debt (if the corrupt bankers press for payment, forcefully shut down their cartels).

Back the dollar with gold, silver, or even aluminum in the very least. Without a backing, aren't we just trading worthless paper that can be bought at Wal*Mart with more worthless paper?

[Zaphodox]

ohohoh! even better! use the other half of the money to set up a special unit in the police (not a letter agency) to investigate lies, kickbacks and corruption in the three branchs of government.

Make it a death penalty to deceive congress and BINGO problems are solved.

[demomanchaos]

Maybe not a death penalty (though we could always use less politicians), but perhaps a SEVERE fine, permanent removal from all offices, and maybe 10 years in Alcatraz.

Otherwise, tis a perfect plan.

[polygamous1]

in fact JFK said he had plans to diband the fed res n 10 days later he was history so was Jefferson so was A Lincon the fed is a criminal bank robbing america n its people to its knees voted in 23 Dec 1913 when all Chrian congressmen went home for Xmas by 2 Non Christains

see THE MONEY MASTERS shocking But true a country as great as the US was could Never be broke without been robbed from within from the gang of international bankers running the fed n all finance in the us

[1XMarksSpot]

@demomanchaos Thank god! I'm very happy to see at least there are some Americans with a brain and have critical thinking skills! =D If you're an honorable person who can resist the temptations of women, money, and power, you should think about running for public office whether it be the local, state, of federal level. Keep it up! =D

[valacar11]

Lyndon LaRouche is calling for a new Pecora Commission

Healthcare crisis is being used as a smokescreen to cover up the crimes/problems in the financial sector

[yunstarr502]

money is debt period

[Mickmars90]

I'm a big fan of Ron Paul, but he is not an economist, and he dosen't know as much about economics as he thnks he does.

Monetary expansion does not cause inflation in these circumstances. Capacity utilisation around the world is at 60%, which means there is far too much spare capacity for inflation. It is a powerful lid on inflation. Also, the output gap is around 9%. We need to slash spending and increase monetary expansion rapidly. If we do that, the crisis will be over in months.

[xhamlin]

Increasing money supply is, by definition, inflation.

[clayassassin]

That is probably the most retarted economic theory I have ever heard. First of all us as a nation need not worry about the global economy. Secondly, increase monetary supply?? That is absurd, that would lead to hyper-inflation, which would further devalue our dollar, increase national/oversea debt, and do nothing close to a recovery. I do agree however with slash spending to... around 5% of what it is now.?LOL Besides you know if you print money those liberals can't not spend it...R.Paul is Otay

[Mickmars90]

Why don't you actually read what I wrote. I said it isn't inflationary NOW because of the massive output gap and the large spare capacity in the economy. Printing money in normal times when the economy is at near equilibrium is stupid, but we can print as much as we want now. Personally, I'd love to go back to a gold standard, but while we have fiat money and a central bank, we may as well use them. It's called pragmatism.

[Hallonsylt]

Yeah, sure. Slash spending especially anything that benefits the poor or middle class - then keep piling the money to the banks. Yeah...ok

[Mickmars90]

Learn to fucking read chump. I never said keep piling the money into the banks. Monetary expansion means the central bank buying corporate bonds from BUSINESSES LARGE AND SMALL.

State spending is just a ponzi scheme. We should not be forced into paying the wages of people who could do the job in the private sector. It is legalised theft and should be stopped. Why should I use my money to pay for teachers when I could go private?

[Hallonsylt]

You know, the crude insulting language is not becoming of an educated person. Maybe your a genius, and maybe I have incorrectly analyzed what you were saying, but that is absolutely no excuse for that foul expletive you called me. I have my reasons to believe that the ponzi scheme involves stealing tax money which they got through promises to the poor and middle class, and making sure it ends up concentrated in banks under the false hope that they will lend it to companies providing jobs.

[Mickmars90]

I have migraines and take a medication called Tramadol Hydrochloride. Do some research on it. Side effects include excessive sweating, heart palpatations and aggressiveness. I apologise.

[Hallonsylt]

Thank you, I respect you doing that.

[Hallonsylt]

If you disagree with me, you surely can do so without using F-bombs

[Jacintalee24]

I love ron pauls honesty cant remember anytime I have seen someone in his position be so honest its great he is truly a man of god he does what he says and says what he does and does not decieve he is point blank honest ITS GREAT!

[PatsBlog]

You have got to love Dr. Paul. He is the only Congressman making any sense. Hey. I have a question. Do you know how your rep in Congress is voting? I was watching the news the other day when I noticed a pattern. All they cover are fires, shootings, and the weather. Not to sound uncaring about others' misfortunes, but why cover the same fire for 3 days? Whom does this affect? Why not cover how your rep voted on issues of importance to your life? Instead, shootings, fires, weather...

[nalejbank]

How appropriate are his comments. Sounds like it was this week but yet it was before the Housing and AIG bailout. What a kook. Go Ron Go. Join the Campaign for Liberty . com.

[niruobas55]

If you like Ron Paul check out Peter Schiff on UTUBE.

[CountArtha]

I second that. Peter Schiff is our generation's Keynes (except he's right).

[USIndependent]

Ron Paul needs to get those illegal aliens out of Texas and maybe California would have an example. The billions if not trillion caused by illegal aliens need to be discussed. Don't blame the Federal Reserve for failures by the U.S. Congress.

[Vindispite]

When businesses employ illegal aliens they do so because they can do it cheaply. A resulting surplus of unskilled labor in a certain market drives wages down in that market. This is financially deleterious, but the content of the video here is a discussion of inflation through expansion of the supply of credit. In this regard, illegal aliens actually have a minor *positive* effect, as a good portion of their earnings are sent south of the border, where the effect on prices here is reduced.

[Vindispite]

This isn't to say that this makes illegal immigration acceptable, but rather that it is a wholly different topic. If USIndependant wants to address the entitlement system in which illegals participate, that is slightly more relevant to the issue, but to blame the roses for being over-watered rather than blaming the guy with the hose is a bit silly.

[dermoni08]

but bush CEO friends need those illegal aliens i when went to houston i didnt know if i was in africa or Iraq or India or Mexico it flooded illegal aliens from all across world

[vinoa]

umm you do realize that most of the Indians in Akerica are there because your scientists and other professionals just were unable to match the demand in your country for these professionals...and it's a funny thing you should mention how you feel when you're in houston...i'm sure it's the same kind of sick disgusting feeling Native Americans get every time they see a white person and they're reminded of europe

[CountsHonesty]

Our scientists were able to fill the void. American college grads couldn't find jobs in Silicon Valley taken by imported lower-waged immigrants. Europeans were in America 30,000 years ago. So, what were you saying now? The Federal Reserve is evil, it has manipulated financials and caused us to go to world wars to "fix" the economy. It has stolen $trillions.

[vinoa]

30,000? really?? i figured it started with the vikings but if you've read somewhere that Europeans were in America 30,000 years ago I'd love to see that too...never even heard such a theory

[CountsHonesty]

Long before the Vikings. Archaeologists have dug up ancient sites attributed to ancient Europeans. Barry Fell wrote "America B.C." and there is "Ancient American" magazine. The reason I brought this up is because some here claim that Europeans most recently have intruded on the Native Americans, thereby justifying imported workers and the illegal Mexican invasion, all engineered by the Federal Reserve, etc. to create The North American Union.

[ethanmaas]

hmmm... so it's his job to get them out? Last time I checked that was Bush's/military's job.

[Loki8901]

His campaign has ended but his revolution is far from over

[jspecaspec23]

@Loki8901 Ron Reagan lost twice before winning the presidency Ron Paul is just beginning.

[CockysThoughts]

@Loki8901 Only his 2008 campaign. Ron Paul 2012.

[sonsofliberty53]

AND people are beginning to wake up and see that he's been right all along.

That means the NWO will be living in a brier patch pretty soon.

There may be hope yet.

[clayp72]

Talk about a thorn in the side of the New World Order. Wonder who hates him more, Bush or Al "Jim Jones, Jr." Gore?

[garyowen4ever]

VOTE FOR RU PAUL FOR USA PRESIDENT.

[jenniferann2]

ha ha so true. giving money to people who can't afford it. love it

[atypicalguy]

Maybe, they'll make him chairman of the party like they did Dean.

[kwestyunz]

You tell 'em, Dr. No!

[garyowen4ever]

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS............RON PAUL GOING SOFT ON BERNANKE,,,,,,,,,, I KNEW THIS BUM WAS ANOTHER NEWT GINGRICH,, ALL TALK AND NO RESULTS, RESULTS PAY THE RENT PAULTARDS , GOOGLE UP OR TUBE UP JIM ROGERS, KEVIN PHILIPPS, [PETER SCHIFF, YARON BROOK-AYN RAND, BILL FLECKENSTEIN, DR. BRIAN WESBURY, these guys know how to asess blame when it comes to bernanke and greenspam.

[Tackleqb]

how do you suppose he goes more hard on him? he has to at-least be civil in the capital building or all hell will break loose.

[garyowen4ever]

a better response would have been that the powers that be have seen and heard all the VEHEMENCE AGAINST THE FED generated by PAUL'S VIDEOS AND SPEECHES AND THEY told him to cool it, or, or, he's got your money so SCREW YOU, he's not gonna have a heart attack over it all. LOOK KID, i've done international management consulting for world class outfits, as an adult i want RESULTS NOT PHILOSOPHY. bernanke and paulson always get results for the wealth class, every time, without fail.

[jesuslover037]

Sure you get results right now.  But in order to get results our dear Federal Reserve has to print massive amounts of money. The people who buy the wealthy's products are your average joe's and what happens when inflation kills them? They won't buy your products anymore. I'm tired of sacrificing the average American for the wealthy.

[AntiDespot]

I think Paul is a "more flies with honey" kind of guy. If he got angry, the corporate pundits would have a field day, and feel validated for calling him all of the nasty things that they have. He's a wise man with an entirely American philosophy. One long forgotten by the government educated masses. He's done more for the cause that the founders fought for than anyone I have seen in my lifetime. He's just the catalyst we needed in these troubling times. Many are awake, more will follow.

[fsujag54]

I think he didn't get more votes because a lot of people didn't hear his message until after their state held its primaries. If he would get on the ticket as an independent and debate with McCain and Obama I think he could win.

[Loki8901]

i think that he woundnt consider it he is trying help bob barr in the librtarien party

[takerdust]

Congressman Paul is a scholar and a statesman. He isn't in business to give you a political hard-on.

[fauxnewssuks]

We still use the the hidden taxation through inflation system because:

1. our public school system was a social engineering program designed by communists

and industrialists, to produce good worker bees instead of trouble making thinkers

2. our newspapers and other sources of info were largely controlled by the same designers

3. our mainstream churches went along with it

4. our entertainment with those "deep thinking" emotional manipulators helped us

to feel good about being Sheeple

[pestronia]

why do we still us a flawed system?

[squidb8]

All systems are flawed, because men build them there will be cracks in the foundations. The trick is to build one that contains the least perceptible flawed.

Now for the second question, changing the thinking of 50 million people, probably the amount needed to get the hill involved, is turning a 150 ton vessel. These things don't turn on a dime.

[harrells1]

I believe his colleagues are slowly starting to see the light whether they want to admit it or not. As the idea of abolishing the Federal Reserve becomes more mainstream, other members of congress with way smaller balls will finally jump on board with his 100% accurate logic.

[squidb8]

If we abolish the Fed, what would reign control of a run away market. Yes, there are flaws, but to scrap it and start again is more overbloated then just changing the way the system in place is retooled.

[jesuslover037]

A run away market is a political fear tactic given by the government to make you think you're helpless without their regulations. We didn't need a federal reserve for 137 years and we were doing fine. The market will always produce far more diversity and thus, more stability, than one organization can possibly conjure up to stabalize.

[squidb8]

I beg to differ. Many of the money melt downs was because the Fed failed to act, or acted improperly. On the other hand I fed did act as a buffer to keep a bad situation from careening out of control.

I agree that the Fed may need some refurbihing. However the run on the banks in the Great Depression, and the Sub-prime was clear signs of a Fed that doesn't act properly.

[jesuslover037]

Ah, I see. It's always interesting to hear different points of view. It's a good sign there's still thinking going on here :)

[zaggg0n]
