  • BEN BERNANKE, RAISING OUR INTEREST RATES IN 15 MINUTES OR LESS!

  • This silly moron is continuing the policies of loose money that is the cause of all this. Under his "leadership" the markets have become a kind of government sponsered casino, with the government the house. Only the government or government proxies can win with any consistency.

  • lol....Jews.

  • This guy is such a piece of shit.

  • Everything that he says is a pure bullshit. I only have BA, but I can beat him in the debate any day. His arguments are funny.

  • PURE EVIL

  • @Megatron8118 your evil. anti semite.

  • @MrJewishWarrior

    Shut the fuck up! So if i disagree with a Jew I am an anti semite?

  • RON PAUL 2012!

    END THE FED!

  • @anthonydo503 ron paul is a racist. The Fed is run by ben bernanke who has american interests at heart, do not worry goyym.

  • @MrJewishWarrior (Part 1) Okay....first off, if you're going to make response, at least spell it correctly because I believe "goyym" is not a word. Second, how is Ron Paul a racist when he believes in civil liberties and admires Dr. King and Rosa Parks for practicing the libertarian principle civil disobedience? Lastly, Bernanke has been inflating prices while creating money out of thin air.

  • @MrJewishWarrior (Part 2) That causes the value of dollar to go down, and I guarantee you that it will collapse pretty soon and the U.S. will collapse as well. So if Bernanke "has American interests at heart," he wouldn't do those things if he loves this country.

  • @MrJewishWarrior By the way, I'm a minority who supports Ron Paul. So there.

  • @anthonydo503 you must be one dumb cushi, you have no understanding of economics so just because you have seen a few youtube videos does not make you a college graduate in any walk of life... Jewish people actually have college educations and know what they are talking about so you should listen to us when we say Ben Bernanke knows what he is doing goyy

  • @MrJewishWarrior LMAO It's funny that you've accused Dr. Paul for being a racist and you called me a derogatory term of a black person. How hypocritical! You lost pal...try again.

  • @MrJewishWarrior

    Let me edit your comments before you post. Ron Paul isn't a racist. The Fed is run by Ben Bernanke who has Israeli/Jewish interests at heart.

  • @Megatron8118 you sound like an antisemitic goy, but i will respond anyways, Ron Paul has published racist news articles, Ron paul also has engaged with antisemitic hate groups,

    poiting out that ben bernanke has jewish/israeli interests sounds about as anti semitic as you can get.

  • @MrJewishWarrior

    give me resources of where/when ron paul did.

    Until then go suck your own uncircumcised little dick

  • Do you see him shaking?! He always does that when he knows he is screwed. He fucked up. And when the tidal waves come, he will be washed into oblivion. It is ridiculously obvious that he is ashamed. The reason these feds can can communicate with people at all with a straight face is because they know it is life or jail.

  • Willard will take care of this Ben.

  • fucking dry mouth, excruciating.

  • This is what you get for letting Zionists shysters run a Banking monopoly and steal your hard earned money America.

  • @Marius26879 Shut your mouth anti semite!!!

  • If the nation invested our debt in banks while they were high we would be richer by now!

  • Those poor students at Ohio State!

  • the income disparity gap is because of educational differences? i have a master's degree and i'm definately NOT rich ans struggle month to month. i have tons of friends with higher degrees who are in the same boat. Bernanke is SO out of touch.

  • @ianlevo As members of the Jewish Community we need to stick together and support this brave Jewish man Ben Bernanke he is a true warrior who knows his stuff on the economy, as a collective we must stick together against these hateful anti semites!!

  • Commerce, Industry, Manufacturing, Fiscal Policy

    For Higher Quality of Living

    Utilizing Human Resources is one of the key issues

  • Real Unemployment rate is 22.4 percent on January 17, 2012 look it up on shadow stats...by the end of this year 2012, the US deficit will be over 17 trillion does anyone believe that?

  • Real inflation today is 11/12 percent on January 17, 2012

  • What a Cocky MoFo, Bernake is!!

  • bernake has shaken up the whole economy. untrustworthy guy with no integrity.

  • ben bernanke got parkinsons?

  • guys. Ben Bernanke saves the U.S. from going into complete meltdown. Please stop insulting him!

  • @suyichen890517  wake up dummy they got you brainwashed asshole!

  • @strongiproductions ?? Who got me brainwashed? Do you actually know Fed's policies? Please go get informed before accusing the Fed. If people start to enjoy spewing things without actually knowing anything, we are on the brink of mob rule. All countries lapsed into mob rule collapse. I hope it does not happen.

  • This guy speaks sooo nervous, you can just see that he is a liar. I think I would be nervous too, if your bosses are private bankers, investers who OWN the whole world. Bernanke works for those suckas.

  • sionista di merda!

  • He said there is no inflation, but there is. Therefore, he is a proven liar.

  • What a nut! "there is no inflation" yeah right. Look at the historical value of the US dollar, duh! The guy is a nutcase. Abolish the Fed!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @rosiertodd inflation is actually often the sign of a healthily growing economy. What they're talking about in this case however is "runaway" inflation, not a gradual 200 year process. And I think Bernanke is right in assuming that this won't cause that. Besides like he said the Fed isn't "printing money" in this specific case.

  • @CrimsonEmpire I'm tired of explaining different types of inflation to people on youtube who have never taken a macroeconomics class. It's a waste of time. More and more economists are actually redefining inflation based on price levels, monetary inflation being a specific type. Inflation is dangerous when it's unanticipated. Quantity theory of money ignores savings. Wages and interest rates adjust when anticipated, 2% inflation is the annual target now.

  • @CrimsonEmpire Finally somebody who actually understands economics.

  • @rosiertodd

    The chairman was referring to inflation in recent years, not for the period of time you're referring to. Also, you're only looking at one side of the story, wages have also risen with the devalued dollar.

  • @rosiertodd the dollar is as strong as ever vs. the pound and the euro.

  • @1994anmol It's called pump and dump. They are pumping up the dollar before pulling out completely. The dollar collapse is a mathematical certainty.

  • @rosiertodd every country that does not have a fixed currency, which is every developed country in the world, has inflation. Deal with it.

  • @redarrowhead3 the cause of inflation is government overspending. When governments spend more money businesses must raise their prices. The Fed print more this was planned. Deal with inflation? If you want to see prices drop the government must stop over spending. Unfortunately we have democracy in this country. The majority will continue to vote in tax raising politicians, while the minority will protest the tax heights.

  • @rosiertodd I can see you understand economics. I cringe anytime I see comments like yours.

  • @rosiertodd The Federal Reserve is just fine, you need to learn some economics dumbo

  • @rosiertodd FUck off anti semite, your just jealous Jews are running the money.

  • @MrJewishWarrior

    actually bernanke doesn't run anything.. He is just a puppet for the big corporate leaders.. he's there to bial them out when they call, he's their bitch...

  • @xMaXiMuSx bernanke is a puppet for the real people running the show the illuminati and the jesuit priests who are out to make our innocent jewish people look bad, what can i say most people are stupid goy.

  • @rosiertodd When a country has high levels of unemployment and very low interest rates, the last thing you should be worried about is inflation. Consider what might happen if there was deflation.

  • the whole federal reserve is a scam. the economy is orchestrated by a small group of people behind the curtain for their own benefit imo.

  • haha give me a break, they're making Bernake sound so heroic; "rescuing"....if you were to really rescue you wouldn't charge a penny on interest but of course, like any businessmen you have to maximize profits.

  • People need to stop crucifying Bernanke. He's done a pretty good job preventing a fincancial meltdown.

  • @jebenn23 All he has done is prolonged the financial crisis. We need to allow the correction in the markets to take place to allow the economy to be restored. All the fed has done is caused inflation through increasing the money supply and in turn devaluing the us currency. I by no means think he is dumb. No he is very smart. But there is no question he is crooked and the bailout stimulus has gone to all of the wrong places ie. wall street. Bernanke deserves to take part of the blame. Period.

  • He needs to be put in prison and refund all of us

  • haha i love how every idiot has their own brilliant idea about the economy and that only they are right

  • anyone notice his lips are shaking almost like he's not telling the truth!

  • Watched this for AP Gov, long live America!

  • @Swimming2333 Sup Frizbee, it's Jimmy

  • shaking your head while speaking is a sure sign of lying. Being a seasoned bullshit artist you should know better benny bullshit

  • It's ironic, only a mere fraction of the world have mind that can run the economic system of the world....yet so many criticized them as if they themselves can do any better..........If you think you can do better, well why don't you then?

  • Comment removed

  • hes like shaking he cant even lie well

  • Ben Bernanke is either evil or dumb.

    We need to get rid of the FED as it is the root of most problems. We are going to a depression and destruction of the current dollar. Brace yourselves for gold backed dollars and gold confiscation.

  • if falling prices is the problem then Walmart must be the enemy. can't have it both ways. our prices are inflated with your interest/income tax paychecks, Ben. they need to come down.

  • Newt on Ben Bernanke “I’d fire him tomorrow. I think he’s been the most inflationary, dangerous and power-centered chairman of the Fed in the history of the Fed. I think his policies have deepened the depression, lengthened the problems, increased the cost of gasoline and been a disaster.”

  • this is garbage...bernanke looks on edge...scared even. the fed reserve is the worst thing to happen to america's economy. debt upon debt.

  • "We can raise interest rates in 15 mins!!" Wow!

  • This man is not a Jew, he is the core manifestation of the dealers of the golden calf! US and the government has been infiltrated by a viri, so too religion! lies and racketeering are responsible for having his position, along with Greenspan!

    Everything he says is out of undergraduate textbook philosophy. He does not know what he is doing either.

  • 11:12

    The fed put up $3.3 trillion dollars.

    Holy shit.

  • Here you go. Ben Bernanke His name is an anagram for (bank be ern en)

  • How could he not have predicted the credit crunch? Excessive lending over long periods of time always results in bubbles and in modern economies almost always manifests itself in real estate first because this is the most sensitive area to warped market forces, all the famous names in economics predicted it, Shiller, Roubini and Geithner, even Merill Lynch saw it coming but naturally didn't whip up a hullabaloo.

  • any one who thinks Bernanke or the Fed is doing a good job is crazy i don't like the Fed at all if god him self ran the Fed i would hate him if you think interfering in a capitalist economy by bailing out company's saying they are two big to fail is going to fix any thing your wrong and the Fed needs to die its crazy GE dose not even pay tax's why we giving them money and money to banks over seas come on

  • mtgsean wrote, but was deleted.

    @rebeccasaysrelax That's just what his voice sounds like, he's actually a brilliant economists and single-handedly saved the global catastrophe in 2008.

    Are you fucking serious?

  • @rebeccasaysrelax If it was just his voice, you might have an argument, but his body language matches his weak voice. Watch his left upper lip twitch and his eyes glass over as if he's on the verge of crying.

  • Ben Bernanke is doing an amazing job, good work Ben keep it up... without you, we would have sunk.

  • @mtgsean Say's Ben Bernanke's butt buddy.

  • Ben Bernanke is shaking in his boots. He looks like he wants to cry.

  • Comment removed

  • lol his ticking is making me nervous!

  • Wtf he has ticks when he talks, he looks nerveous as fuck...

  • Heres How The "Behind The Scene String Pullers" Work Our COuntry As Well As C.I.A. When Need Be ... 1. Cause The Fear ... Aka Terror Attack Within Or Finicial Crysis To Cause People To Get In A "we Gotta DO Something" Mindstate . 2. Have Tha Solution Ready Before The Attack Or Crysis Even COmes About. 3.Pass Thru Foul Laws Thru COngress To Rape Tha Constitution a LiL. 4. Dont Let The Crysis Go To Waste.

  • Bernanke Has Played A Very Vital Role IN Destroying Our COuntry.

    I Say Hang Him.

  • Comment removed

  • I think Ben Bernanke is doing excellent job.

  • @TheIxtlan i think your fucking brainwashed and stupid

  • @Sarisen5 Everything is going to be fine. Just look at Wall Street or the New York Stock Exchange. So far its doing fine.

    Ben Bernanke is doing great and fantastic job.

    Remember, God is in control.

  • @Sarisen5 You know nothing if you think Mr. Bernanke isn't the reason why we are not at 20% unemployment or worse. He is doing an amazing job at keeping the system going and the economy from breaking in half. Do you know anything about financial markets, systems, economics or business? My guess is not.

  • @Sarisen5 I think you are brainwashed and represent the average unintelligent.

  • @VassiliZaitsev12 Ben Bernanke knows what he is doing he is an honorable member of the Jewish People! You Goys need a better understanding on economics.

  • @MrJewishWarrior For soh, I agree. I was making fun of the guy that commented.

  • "for example, AIG"

    "the insurance company?"

    "the insurance company."

  • Inflation is overstated?!?!

    IT'S BEEN DOING NOTHING BUT GOING UP

  • IN MY OPINION BEN BERNANKE IS ONLY STRING PUPPET.LOOK. THESE GUY IS SO RESTLESS.

    TY

  • If there is no issue, there will be no extra cost.

    Hence the growth of shareholder value depends on the production of money?

  • His eyes are empty and his voice is shakey... two tell tale signs of a puppet of the machine.

  • @1MONICADEAN i totally agree, his shakeyness is very telling

  • Part 1

    John Maynard Keynes once said:

    "Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. –

    Continued...

  • Part 2

    "As the inflation proceeds and the real value of the currency fluctuates wildly from month to month, all permanent relations between debtors and creditors, which form the ultimate foundation of capitalism, become so utterly disordered as to be almost meaningless; and the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery."

    Continued...

  • Part 3

    Keynes went on to say:

    ""Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    

  • Bernanke is CLUELESS.. 

  • Our Money could be spent into existence rather than lent into existence as interest bearing debts. Think about it.

  • @summondadrummin

    "Our Money could be spent into existence rather than lent into existence"

    Google "The Cantillon Effect"

  • This man is a front man for the Biggest Fraud were faced with. Our common currency begins or is issued as a debt to a private for profit banking cartel. This is a decisive design~debt based currency ~ because it ensures this control over the money power will rule over the economy.What does it say in the Bible~ "The Borrower is Servant to the Lender", Its an old game.

  • @ilyacibko EVIL DUMB ASS WOULD BE MORE LIKE IT.

  • AT MINUTE 12 THEY TALK ABOUT THE PROPPING UP OF THESE BANKS AND CORPS....THEY SAY IF THEY HAD NOT PRINTED MONEY AND GAVE IT AWAY THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG CRASH.......I SAY YES,,,,WE NEED A BIG CRASH. THE SYSTEM MUST CORRECT ITSELF....IT HAS TO AT SOME POINT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.....PUTTING IT OFF WILL ONLY MAKE THE CRASH WORSE

  • your going down Bernanke

  • when you all have PhDs in economics, then you can evaluate his competency

  • @edwardzacharyy doesn't take a PhD to trace 500 billion!!!!! Bernanke can't seem to come up with of answer as to where it went uhhh... should we bring up derivitives? sorry i can talk about his competency and more!

  • @edwardzacharyy ONE PROBLEM THE USA HAS IS IT IS CONTROLLED BY OVER EDUCATED DUMB ASSES. PHD STANDS FOR.....PILED HIGHER AND DEEPER.

  • 11:09 3.3 Trillion dollars to various corporate entities..... notably the Bank of England, which is owned by the Royal Family got some of the "bailout" money as stated.  This tells us all something, the "illuminati" is real. Lets be honest with ourselves, why would foreign banks and companies be getting money from the Federal Reserve? Big pay day for the global elite is what that is.

  • Well we back to the same high unemployment, and um Oh yea, QE2 about to finish. NOT FINISHED YET, but we going down.

    Kid you self not, Qe3 .. 4 ...5 all on the way!

  • He wishes hed predicted the looming crisis. Ron Paul has been tellin these ass clowns this was going to happen for the past 20 years!! Ive got a good idea to recover from this crisis. Get Rid of the guys who created the crisis in The First place!!! instead we go and ask them to save us from their own creation. Good god, i thought humanity was meant to be evolving

  • Consumer Price Index?  I didn't know the Consumer Can Price.

  • I wonder how long it took bernanke to memorize his script for this sci fi?

  • The only Words I HAVE FOR Ignorant slaves...that desire communism/socialism. GET A JOB!!! LOOK FOR A JOB!!! Get a Career!!! Look For a Career!!! Love Work!! Look for Work!! Love everything you do!!! DO NOT DO WHAT YOU HATE!!!! Love God and Man... Pray for good, good things, and an honest heart... BECAUSE GOOD PEOPLE ARE THANKFUL PAIN!!!!!! Take The Pain! What does not kill you makes you stronger!!! You can handle it!!! Vote on the issues!!! Let the chips fall were they may!!! Enjoy the game.
  • Here is what we must do. 200 Million People x $1.00 a week. Drawing once a week. 995 People will win $200,000 a week. 995!!!

  • You know who's even more at fault...Everyone Contributed.

    Just by Not taking pride in our country by trying to save 10 cents and Not Buying MADE IN USA...

    Or even looking AT THE LABELS ON THE BACK, or package.

    Made in Usa...matters...We all contributed.

    Sure some more than others, but just saying we all have some reasons to point fingers at ourselves --Me included.

  • @TheAmericanArm ROSS PEROT Warned you! Its Bigger than that though, but that helped. Main culprit = The Fed from years ago, and the Financial Terrorists.

  • When things are done well they happen gradually, when bad it can be gradual or overnight... pray for good and good things.

  • It sorta makes me feel guilty for being an account/finance major lol. They need to tighten up the reserve supply, being that there is in an increase in jobs. It will only do the reserve effect of printing bills (which they did).

  • LIES LIES LIES.  I wonder how long the sheeple of America will buy this BS. That what it is. He is stealing from Americans and nobody seems to care!

  • Look at him tremble as he talks hes lying every word, he knows it, he knows shit is going to hit the fan

  • What funds are they using to buy those securities? Peanuts? 

  • The Fed is In Charge of the economy- HE HAS DONE a Piss Poor Job...

    What else is to debate?

    FIRE HIM!!

    At Least in the Future, The Fed should be voted on By the People like Everyone else in Government.

  • @TheAmericanArm At Most...Justice.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheAmericanArm 0% unemployment is impossible. And also dangerous to an economy. Unemployment should never be below 4%. Unfortunately unemployment is required in order to have a healthy economy.

  • End the fed. Hyper-inflation is coming. To use the stock market or employment rates as metrics for growth is deceiving - it is an economy running on the adrenaline of pumped money supply and artificial stimulus. The most honest indicator of economic vitality, gold, has the dollar at an all time low. Food crisis. Energy crisis. Monetary crisis. Sovereign debt crisis. It is all coming soon. Hopefully we can inter Keynesianism with the valueless dollars we will be throwing away.

  • End The Fucking Fed!

    End The Wars!

    Stop The Lies!

    Oppose The Deceivers!

    Ron Paul 2012

  • @grandhustle314 - No we need our Fed to keep inflation low you moron! The wars are ending, right on schedule, just as Obama promised. The Iraq one ended last summer, the Afgan one ends this summer, so that's it.

    -

    Nobody is lying except you. Nobody is deceiving anyone you moron... Ron Paul? what is that supposed to mean? He's not a serious candidate since he is too old, plus he's from Texas, and nobody trusts politicians from that backwards state. Please "think" before you post...

  • @tnoyy34rt LOL! your funny...sure what ever say buddy...lol Texas is one of the most stable states In The Country during this economic depression.

    Obama's State- Where he is from!!! IL- Chicago...Is A fucking shit hole economy.

    And more Socially Conservative than ever Before---> free speech--> Shit people barely speak to others freely...Everyone is afraid to express opinions freely..."No one wants to offend anyone" --->At that point people Fear each other ...

  • @tnoyy34rt negative your retarded dumbfuck. There are still nearly 50,000 troops in Iraq based on what is being reported today in the news. The Iraq one has ended just yet. Next time do some real research before you post here again and make a complete ass of yourself. Thanks.

  • @tnoyy34rt actually tnoy34rt no one is lying except you. How is Texas backwards. At last check they had superior infrastructure and San Antonio is probably one of very few cities that have stayed ahed of their population when it comes to highways/roadways. Backwards, LOL you are so full of shit especially when people like me have traveled that state and can tell you are lying. NOBAMA 2012.

  • 8:09 bernanke is wrong again! housing prices are still falling

  • sounds like your trying to reach a natural median as it would exist if the market was free... so why dont you just embrace a free market and give back control of money to free markets.

  • i was led here by a Shepard and i followed blindly.

  • PRINTING MONEY IS EXACTLY WHAT YOUR POLICY IS ALL ABOUT AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU EVIL MANIPULATING SCUMBAG!!

  • This is capitalisms fault. Not His. Capitalism is a messy business.

  • @235RB

    Please back up your claim. I'm sick of economic-illiterates spouting nonsense. The USA isn't even capitalist, it's a mixed economy, or more precisely, it is a corporatist economy.

  • @Ilikemustard My point is that if anyone you can't point the finger at the chairman. I know its a mixed economy, capitalism has its pros and cons like anything else. People want a free market, they had one while Bush was in office, and there is still very little regulation. What are you trying to say here?

  • @235RB

    Uh... What?

    There is currently more regulation than in the USA's recorded history.

    And you still have not backed up your claim. How did capitalism cause this?

  • @Ilikemustard Im not doin this.

  • @235RB

    Why?

  • @235RB People had a free market under Bush? Hahaha cmon man you do not mean that. The recession would have come much sooner if we had a free market under Bush.
