Economics Roundtable: Ben Bernanke

[hybird9012]

The only difference between Ben Bernanke and a filthy whore is that you know where your money is going.

[quidnick]

He wants my penis now...

[mjcrcol]

Everyone is a master of economics. It is one of the few fields where people read a book or two (sometimes not even that) and immediately become all knowing. Ridiculous. 

[andreaoffshore]

mintoo2cool the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK is a PRIVATE BANK, the main shareholder is Rockefeller, also has shares Rothschild, Warbug, Botin ( from Santander Spain ). If you want I send you the list of the shareholders.

Im Economist, I work in Banking area and you just need to search in you tube or google, or even read the "History of the Fed" in wikipedia so you realize that the FED it is a PRIVATE BANK. Read the Book "The history of Jekill Island"

[NGinuity]

@andreaoffshore I think your tin foil hat is on the fritz. The Fed doesn't have any shareholders above and beyond it's member banks, IS NOT PRIVATE, and the term "shareholder" is used very loosely. Member banks only have one share, the shares are at a fixed price (meaning no bank holds more weight on committee than any other), and those shares can't be sold per Fed policy (shares are arbitrary). Surely as an economist you know at least that much.. Oh wait, maybe you're LYING.

[Giuelith]

Not that I didn't enjoy this, I'd simply like to look at, if from an Angel Investor to another...

Mr Roger K. Olsson

[vorotnikova]

Bernanke, it is 2010 and you are such an idiot!

[RIPPED7399]

the federal reserve is the biggest scam ever pulled in the history of mankind........ they stand there with their dicks out pissing on the american people and tell the congress its raining..... goal achieved??? u fucking prick... the dollar has lost 95% of its value since the FED took over ..... fucking ass clown

[Fuel1]

I'd love to stab him in the face

[Zeldovich]

The banks are sound and well capitalized. lmao Was he lying or really this clueless?

[jcvjcvjcvjcv]

WTF is he talking about...

"Federal Reserve contains inflation"

Yeah right, and murderers stimulate law and a feeling of safety...

[pepsimannampepsi]

The Partay is over.

Bernanke, Geithner, Obama, Paulson, Bush are the people who will destroy the country completely.

[andreaoffshore]

Bernake is NOT american, He is a Jew !! working for the Interest of Israel. He is part of the Global Elite, The Bilderberg Group and all this crap.

We need to take back your country from the jews !!

The FED is a Private Bank that is NOT working for America. It is the Biggest Scam of the last 2 centuries !!!

Thommas Jefferson said that "we don`t have to aloud private bankers to coin our Money" and this is the TRUE !! America may coin Its Own Money !!!

The HELL with the Fed !!!!

[jcvjcvjcvjcv]

They will go to hell I guess.

Just look at the abuse of the name of God: "In God we trust" Yes, a lot of us do, but why print that on a criminal piece of paper (Federal Reserve Notes)?

[NGinuity]

@jcvjcvjcvjcv Why don't you ask the US Treasury. They print and coin that money.

[MrSmackdown100]

@NGinuity no they don't.

[mintoo2cool]

@andreaoffshore fed is not a private bank

[MrSmackdown100]

@mintoo2cool yes it is.

[mintoo2cool]

@MrSmackdown100 point your browser to

federalreserve(dot)gov/general­info/faq/faqfrs(dot)htm and then get back to me.

[MrSmackdown100]

@mintoo2cool hahaha.

[jsusanmay]

refer to experts who got it right, like Nassim Taleb, Mark Faber, and others.

those experts were warning about the gathering financial storm way before it started..They believe Bernanke's is incapable of solving the problems, and he should leave his post.

[evanderbaron]

hey you all need to grow up. Ben is a great and will go down as a more important figure than any president could ever wish too. I do mean important in a good way this guy is one of our countries brightest and for Ron Paul whom will never touch Ben's air should do something other than complain.

[peteykkk]

i think maybe Hitler would give bernanke a shower!

[SyminaCarla]

Samyra

I am from a faraway country&was amazed by yours. It's the biggest democracy in the world&I admire it But can't understand this stupidity of Fed Res How could you put all the money& monetary policy in the hands of few bankers who can do whatever they want with your money?They can print money anytime they need and throw it on the market to accompl their goals Why can't you have a National Bank as all the countries in the world A bank to operate for the benefit of your country&your people

[xPythox]

Hey I appreciate you being forthright about your honest observations, however there's no need to kiss America's fat ass. This is NOT a democracy and never really was. The last time the world saw democracy was during ancient Greece. Right now congress is more ceremonial than anything else, like the old Roman Empire. Dead on about the banks though.

[jackson92186]

why is inflation a goal at all? why shouldn't the target be to have no inflation OR deflation, as was the case for the first 300 years in this country?

[seekanddestroy09]

consider the fed a bunch of pirates and us taxpayers the loot they plunder continuously the answer to this problem is to not give them any more loot

[evanderbaron]

he's a good guy . has done his best with the situation. He should be kept in place and obama would not be wise to replace him. He is mostly good within a world made up of bad. these are all broad sounding points i kno but what the hell i trust my gut. He has always been willing to do what is best in the face of criticism . I hope this populist attitude changes here as soon as possible.

[soundmoneyfan]

I don't doubt he is a good guy, but if was a noble man he own up to things he has done by going with the bailouts. The Fed keeps us from being in a free market by controling interest rates that should be set by the market based on the savings rate. Keynes doesn't work. The bailouts are not capitalism, capitalism is a system of profit and loss, bailouts for the friends of the government make for a system of private profit and public loss shared throughout the population, how is this fair?

[mozartgenetics]

Ben Bernanke is a well educated criminal. He counterfeits unthinkable amounts of money every year destroying the value of your money. He and several others are fully responsible for our current economic stress and you can be sure that until the Federal Reserve is shut down you will not see an end to it. The Fed is the cancer that is killing the planet. No legislation can be truley effective while the Fed is allowed to operate.

[Rsun88]

ending the fed is not enough, there needs to be a change in the philosophy of monetary policy. central planning is the problem.

[mozartgenetics]

I agree.

[bigupz2u]

Can't help myself, but comment again - thoughts come up in my mind as I watch the speech. I agree with Bernanke when he states neither excessive inflation nor deflation is good for the economy, but then that's common sense, right? However, whether or not American economy (or any other countries economy) does well or badly, these guys still do well (nay, do more than well)-well is an understatement. With all that gold and power in one's hands the world is literally your oyster as the saying goes.

[bigupz2u]

Is it just me or does anyone else think Bernanke appears monotonous and robotic reading off paper verbatim? What sort of people are we voting into the Federal Reserve Bank? Oh I just realized we don't vote them in. It's our money and we don't get a say who manages it? This worries me. Does it worry you? Something isn't quite right with this arrangement, wouldn't you agree?

[bigupz2u]

Big words spoken by Bernanke that don't reflect reality. Inflation low, prices stable? Oh really? If that were true (and I wish it were true) we'd be living in a very different world today. It's business as usual for these guys. Ladies and gentlemen on YouTube, central bankers do not give a damn about our finances, they suck them out of circulation and we pay them a premium (interest payments) to carry on this legal theft. I look forward to the day they are brought to public trial.

[logsdon36]

Translation: We will steal all of your assets for the sake of "Economic Stability".

[youknowImsaying]

[bob733333]

this guy works for lucifer. alien emptyeyed pigeonbot. (he's a good reader! WOW!) we are doomed with our society lacking intelligence and common sense.

[garyowen4ever]

ben BERMONKEY on a short leash held by paul volcker.

[jwilson770]

Bernanke's cranium, relative to the rest of his body, is HUGE.

[avaags]

no wonder he wants a bail out

[WilliamJazzCat]

Ben Bernanke needs your teeth... do you love your country?

[JesstotheTess]

YES!!!! i was just waiting for someone to quote that!!!!! thanks!!!! u made my day!

[PFCFOOTBALLBAT]

FUCK THE FEDERAL RESERVE IT IS A TAX EXEMPT PRIVATE BANK!!!! IT LENDS MONEY TO THE UNITED STATES WITH HUGE INTEREST RATES!!!

100% OF YOU LABOR TAXES GO TO THIS INTEREST WHICH BY THE WAY IS AN ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAX (federal income tax)....FEDERAL(RESERVE) INCOME(PROFIT) TAX!!! FUCK YOU MOTHERFUCKERS WE WANT AMERICA BACK!

[PFCFOOTBALLBAT]

In 1912 the National Monetary Association, under the chairmanship of the late Senator Nelson W. Aldrich, made a report and presented a vicious bill called the National Reserve Association bill. This bill is usually spoken of as the Aldrich bill.

[tsnr2]

@xKENNY1997x you clear known everything about this.

[JiggaNigga9]

Does this dude speak english?

[jdsilver86]

He is pretty much our US President right now. Don't vote for any political candidate unless they sign an affidavit to close down the Federal Reserve.

[neoking3d]

Thank you for your comments. -Because it seems to me that a lot of people are totaly brainwashed! These M-Funkers talk and say nothing but more corruption.Federal Reserve MUST BE SHUT DOWN RIGHT WAY- In there are only criminals and they must be shut in front of national tv so everyone sees it and not do same thing ever again. FOR EVER!!!

[lvildos]

losing2...no problem with money devaluation, the problem is with you paying taxes on "capital gains" when you gain nothing from your house or business being worth more ink on paper, not to mention the unconstitutional levy on your paycheck. You are a servant of your government and your government of the money lenders, shame shame. You will regain some of your lost freedom when the USA currency is printed by the people, for the people, not the "FED"

[losing2]

he should be put in prison for his destruction of the dollar... To destroy the dollar is to destroy the people who work for it

[lvildos]

corindeans...2003/2008 what is the difference?

The Diocletian's Problem-Reaction-Solution administrative paradigm is at work. The rest on part of Bernanke is hyper-redundant in order to confound your associative possibilities/capabilities.

I will add to cdelosr1 post ( MV=PY ) the following: M rk=Kp Int

[corindeans]

Many of you don't seem to understand that this speech was made in 2003 for which much of the statements did a great job at addressing the issue of dis-inflation

[lvildos]

Matthew asked, "But Lord, how can all of Israel be told such things? Their lives are saturated with the teachings of the Pharisees. They are afraid to think otherwise for fear of being excommunicated from Israel and the inheritance of the patriarchs. Jesus replied, "Your response demonstrates exactly what I have been saying. Do you not see how the example of yeast applies perfectly to their teachings?

[cdelosr1]

MV=PY

[rockandfall]

I can't stop looking at that bald spot. It's hard to see, but if you focus hard enough You will be able to spot it

[provendelusion]

YOUR WORDS ARE POISON BERNANKE.

[CorollaKing]

Abolish the Fed RON PAUL for President 2008

[XanatharEye]

From his opening statement, and subsequent outline, it is obvious he's full of shit. Why? He uses vague terminology. He's like "...these policies have done this" while referring to "stable policies" without using exact terms.

[jjrglobal]

Ben can put all the icing he wants to on this turd, it's still going to taste like shit

[pennilesshippo]

Do I see remnants of HAIR on his bald cap? Maybe just a bad quality video. Still, one can't help but wonder...

[sickliberal]

man i cant believe that this man has been called one of the most intelligent economists of the greatest economy.. this speech sows how blind you can get by doing economics this way? it's completely void from reference to reality. how are you going to expect to grow indefinately sustainably? and shouldn't we stop living off nature, before we will be forced to?

[XanatharEye]

that's all we have to live off of

[garyowen4ever]

this century will find 3 opposing financial empires: 1. the judeo-christian west. 2. Islamic. 3.China-ASIA. nationalism as we know it will cease. middle class lifestyles trans sector will cease to exist. militant nationalism will outbreak periodically, hence all the matrix infra security beyond orwel. the good news nasa scientists have been silenced about the BIG one....ELLIE...ELE. eta 2033 or a near miss, so what difference will it make 50 years from now?

[garyowen4ever]

ben is more astute than Paula Abdul!
