Bernanke: Wealth Gap an Issue for Country

[zacharycat]

Bernanke is driving the economy as well as anyone could do under the circumstances but he gets it from both sides. Liberals want to step on the gas while the right wants to slam on the brakes.

[rhersh2011]

Utilizing Human Resources effictively will achieve sound fiscal policy

As well as quality of living rating as well

[higheddy89]

Bernanke worries me. Though he is a banker and obviously not too worried about being broke or suffering from all the things that the typical Joe has to deal with now a days, but the shaky voice and fear that i in his eyes is no optimistic sign for what is to come. I will lay back and wait to see what unfolds in the future. . .

[v12tommy]

Bernie Sanders is an idiot, but then again he is a democratic socialist, so that doesn't surprise me. Clearly he does not know how the federal reserve works. They do not have the legal authority to issue loans to small businesses. I don't even know why he asked that question. It is like Ron Paul getting upset that the Federal Reserve doesn't have physical gold, they have gold certificates. Who elects these morons?

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

they do not have the authority to issue loans to small businesses but they have the authority to hand out trillions to their large banking cronies? who's the idiot again?

these con artists are nothing more than money counterfeitiers stealing from productive society to sustain the existance of useless paper shuffling criminals.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac Clearly you do not understand how the banking system works. The Federal Reserve is like a bank for the banks. The Federal Reserve only deals with member banks and overseas banks. Lending money overseas is no big deal, as those banks store their gold in the NYC Federal Reserve. If you need a small business loan, you need to go to a member bank and not the federal reserve itself. I don't agree with quantitative easing, but lending money overseas I don't have an issue with.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

I'm afraid you don't understand. The Federal Reserve was setup for the sole purpose of perpetuating the MONOPOLY of a few large banks. Their GAMBLING LOSSES are OFFLOADED onto society via money printing while they keep the profits.

Money is COUNTERFEITED at the fed and "lent" via the IMF to bankrupt countries like Greece to repay loans to these large banks. Greece will later DEFAULT on those loans to the IMF. The loss is thus TRANSFERRED to suckers (taxpayers).

[v12tommy]

@orangedac Hahahaha, you have it backwards. The Fed is actually the body that seeks out, finds, and destroys counterfeited US currency and removes it from circulation. I've seen it myself. As for "gambling losses" as you put it, you need to look into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, because that is who gets all the bad sub-prime lending from the banks and is paid for by taxpayers. Banks aren't the bad ones in this whole crisis, they were required by the government to issue more sub-prime loans.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

You obviously don't know the first thing about the Federal Reserve and it shows. The Federal Reserve is a banking cartel with a monopoly on the issuance of fiat money. Its sole purpose is to offload the gambling losses of the cartel onto society while it pretends to act in the interest of society. The mechanism by which this is accomplished is the creation aka counterfeiting of intrinsically worthless money.

Read the book "The Creature from Jeckyll Island" and LEARN.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac Geez, what is it with you conspiracy theory trolls? You refuse to give up and admit you are wrong. If you want to whine and complain about "gambling losses," you are looking in the wrong place. Fannie and Freddie are the 2 government sponsored enterprises that take bad loans, buy them from banks, then repackage them and sell them back to investors on the open market as mortgage backed securities, which is a big part of what caused our current recession.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

Look you may be too stupid to understand this but you don't have a clue what the Federal Reserve is. Fannie and Freddie are mere sympoms of a bigger problem that is inherant in the monetary system. Its a system designed to ripoff the productive and offload losses incured by banking interests.

Do some research as to what the Federal Reserve is. Your ignorance is part of the reason society is trapped in a fiat money scam that will forever see losses transferred onto our backs.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac Don't have a clue? I've been in the federal reserve before. I am pretty sure I know what it is, although clearly you don't. It is designed to ripoff the productive? Well, lets see, I turned $500 into a company that now does business in 20 different countries, yet the Fed has never ripped me off. Sheesh, you trolls and your conspiracy theories. I know why there is a wealth gap in the US. Some people are just too stupid or too lazy to make themselves successful.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

You've "been in the federal reserve before" in what capacity?

As far as BS claims go, anyone can make them.

I started a company that's now worth billions of dollars on from $500 too! You wouldn't happen to be selling Amway crap would you?

[v12tommy]

@orangedac I never stated it was a billion dollar company, therefore you were the one that made the bogus part of that claim. To be honest, I have heard the name Amway before, but I don't have a clue what it is. They don't really state what they do in their commercials. I started a travel company in 2006, and last year I sold controlling interest to fund my own video production company. Now 12 cameras and growing, and looking to purchase a helicopter for aerial footage in the near future.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

you might want to try an RC helicopter assuming the flight altitude is not too high. 

Although the payload may be somewhat limited.

I'm developing something peripheral in this area myself, more so from the electronics point, though I'm only in the beginning stages.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac I'm definitely considering an r/c heli as well, although there are proposed laws pending that would limit r/c aircraft to only 400 ft AGL, and that wouldn't work for me. For some things I could get away with it, but a large portion of my winter business is working with ski areas, and it would be impossible to get any good footage if I have to hug the mountain like that. For terrain park footage I do plan on designing and building my own quadrotor though. It is super easy to do.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

I doubt if building a flight stable and controllable rotorary aircraft is as simple as you think. you can get an off the shelf r/c aircraft with some smarts in it for not much $. even so vibration might be an issue if you are taking video footage as opposed to a picture.

At the more sophisticated end of things, look into GPS to automatically fly to waypoints so you don't have to micromanage the flight with the controls.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac I plan on getting some FPV equipment. I did some full size helicopter lessons, and by the end of my first lesson I was already hovering without assistance. I've always been very handy as a driver, so it just comes natural I guess. As for the heli, I plan on building a quadrotor to start, and it only has 4 moving parts and the rest is electronics, which is my strong suit, so I shouldn't have any issues there. I definitely want to fly waypoints though.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac I am definitely a bit worried about vibration, but not too much. Every year I have 2 friends with 4 Indy cars that I run cameras on, and they are huge on vibration. I do the Pikes Peak hill climb every year too, and have the same issue. (it actually removed the paint off my camera) Having multiple rotors, they will counteract eachother enough that all you would really need to do is rubber mount the camera and you will be good to go. At least that is the case for GoPro cameras anyway.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

how about using a slow moving miniture blimp filled with helium. fans can control its direction. should be easier to build & control than rotors - at least until the wind starts to pick up. And it probably more stable. Only question is how do you get the thing down. Perhaps attach a string to it and just pull it down gently like a kite.

you are underestimating the controls needed for rotors. its not just the case of spinning the blades. Pitch, yaw, roll is hard.

[v12tommy]

@orangedac My issue with a blimp is I do videos for several ski areas and the wind has the potential to pick up suddenly. I did consider it though.

As for the controls, I was planning on doing a quad rotor to learn and use one of my GoPros, and then switch to an octocopter later for heavy lift stuff. You don't have to do any controls with a quadrotor. The only moving parts are the 4 blades themselves, and all the other controls are purely electronic. They are amazingly simple.

[orangedac]

@v12tommy

I wish you well. You are part of the productive segment of society.

If you have time, here's a documentary you might like you to watch to learn more about the Federal Reserve and the fraud behind the paper money system it setup. I promise you if you watch it and understand it, it will change your view. It certainly did for me. v=bhMacPvc5qc

[orangedac]

you mean the wealth gap created by Bernanke offloading the losses of the federal banking cartel onto the people is a problem ???

[mickeysears]

Bernanke says that it's been happening since the late 70's. Well it's really been happening since the early 70's. It's because of the break down of the Bretton Woods agreement that the Federal Reserve caused. That was when the US dollar came totally off the gold basis and we went to a total fiat money system. Money can now be printed at will. This asshole has been warning about something that his Federal Reserve IS THE DIRECT CAUSE.

[Meade556]

@mickeysears No it isn't. The problem is not the Gold standard, the problem is that only Democratic Administrations have restrained themselves, been honest, and they have always had to waste an undue amount of time on the issue. In his first budget, Obama cut 122 billion off the deficit. He could have done a lot more to reduce the deficit. The 5% surtax and the expiration of the Bush tax cuts should have happened in the first 100 days. The War is Making You Poor Act would have been good.

[TheLegendaryLinx]

Damage has been done.. now lets address what we actually wanted to do and play it off as if we didnt know.... hehehehe

[muggynights]

That's a dumb statement. There has been a wealth gap in every country across all time. There will be a wealth gap in all countries in the future as well. Even Communist systems which try to "equalize" all wealth, there are still wealth gaps; the wealth just shifts to the Elite in government instead of the public.

[greg357159]

[greg357159]

[treid100182]

The FED is a private Bank ... for the World.

[mweibleii]

A part of the problem is Banks but the root is the way people think. I see a LOT of similar problems we have in the USA in Japan and are starting to appear in Australia. It seems, to me (and I'm atheist), greed IS the root of all evil and the eventual destruction of society. YET, we teach children to consume consume consume and raise them to be greedy little pigs with their snouts held firmly in the trough.

[maria610421]

@mweibleii: Bernanke and the Gang of Banksters remind me of a Group of trading Con Artist, who was going around to the homes of the elderly. and tell them they need their Drive ways repaired. What they were doing is smashing up peoples Driveways, and then charge the old folks to have the repair done, by over charging them for the mess the the Gangsters made themselves. How do you weed out the crooks who prey on the people???.

[muggynights]

@mweibleii All the human characteristics you lambaste in your comment are natural survival characteristics. We all have them and we are all born with them. It doesn't mean that you have no choices, but we do tend to be ruled by our natures. This is not taught.

The root of the problem is gov't micro-managing the economy. The free market is eventually (a short eventually) self-correcting. Micro-management prolongs the recession/depressions.

[muggynights]

@mweibleii Also... Fannie-Mae / Freddie-Mac are a problem. The gov't solialization policy of lending money to people who don't have the means to repay it is a problem. That's part of what created housing bubbles.

Thats the problem with this country. Americans get themselves deep into a problem buying shit from China but won't go through the pain of spending more money on American made goods that will get us out of this problem so that we can brings jobs back into this country and then sell our good overseas so we can bring wealth into the country. Buying stuff from China is like having depression thats gets worser and worser the only way out is buy USA made. Shit ain't easy but we can do it.

[maria610421]

@vycaso: What is making things more difficult for America is the Tax system, and the National debt, because the WARS has to be paid for by the people, even though they do not benefit from any of these wars, for every oilwell taken over in the Arab world the Ameican or the British people does not benefit, its goes directly to corporate greed.

[vycaso]

@maria610421 Does the Federal Reserve Banks have any connections to England? I heard that the Federal Reserve Banks is a private bank that has no connections to the United States but has connections to the banks of England. If true America is still a colony to England.

[maria610421]

@vycaso: Absolutely, America is a COLONY of the Unighted Kingdom, the Central Bank called the Federal Reserve is owned and controlled by the UK. America won the war of independence, but Rothschild came up with the idea to get control of the country via finance. So you're right.

[vycaso]

@maria610421 Federal Reserve Bank is owned and controlled by the UK and the Rothchilds came up with an ideal of controlling America through its finances through the Federal Reserve Banks? Is it also true that the Federal Reserve Banks collect taxes through the IRS and then loans money through those taxes to people with interest? I also heard that money from the Federal Reserve Banks are shipped to the independent state of inner city London who pays no taxes.

[maria610421]

@vycaso: All the TAXES collected in Washington DC, District of Colombia Goes to the Queen, And what is collected in the City of London, some of it Goes to Rome. 3 Cities that is only accountable to the Monarchy & the Pope in Rome. The Rothschilds controls the Bank of England & the Federal Reserve & the Vatican Bank in Rome. And Yes the IRS collects money through the IRS & Loan the money to people at Interest. the biggest amounts of profit is what the Government borrows for WARS.

[maria610421]

@vycaso: Yes what you're saying is true, 3 City States London, Rome, Washington DC Independent of the Country and IRS collects money to give to them which goes to the Monarchy & the Vatican & the Rothschilds. The Federal Reserve is Owned &controlled out of the UK. The Rothschild makes their Lion shair of the money from WARS which the Government borrows to operate. That is why ABE Lincoln Printed His own Government issued currency to fight in War during his time, at no interest, cost him his life

Want to know why they have the wars going on in the middle East, the same way they grabed the Banking in America in 1913, its the same way they are after Banking in the Arab world, thats what the war is about Global NWO with them in control.

[tr28901]

@maria610421 The Federal Reserve itself is not the problem. The problem is the greed, corruption, secrecy, lack of accountability of our Federal Reserve. Most people who are against the Federal Reserve do not even understand what it is or does. They sure as hell don't understand why it's needed.

Our Federal Reserve needs to be open and transparent. It's needs rules and regulation to guide it. With out them, well we will have exactly what we do now. A money laundering scam for the banks.

[maria610421]

@tr28901: I don't care who writes your laws, as long as I control the money, who controls the money writes the Laws, that is why no one can regulate them, Abe Lincoln tried and he was killed, JFK tried and he was Killed, still think any one can regulate them??.

[TitanTony407]

@tr28901 it's NOT "needed" if it was Kennedy wouldn't have been trying to get rid of it. America was doing just fine before we accepted the Fed...once we did BAM--Great Depression (because of major debt). The Fed isn't at all ours, it belongs to England at the root level. I'm against the Fed, i know what it is/does/is for...end it. Bring in a TRUE currency printed by our own treasury, free of debt and interest. Right now the Fed is making it harder and harder just to maintain the minimal in life

[tr28901]

@TitanTony407 Did you know recessions happened once every 3 years on average before the Fed was created and once every 10 years after. Did you know Recessions were longer and times of growth were shorter and not as profitable before the Fed. Did you know the Fed was only a tiny part of the reason why the great depression happened ? How come END THE FED people always ignore history and facts ?

[TitanTony407]

@tr28901 Yes, i did know those things. But with America's industrial rise in the early 1900's, it was destined to break away from those economic patterns. At one point, America's goods were in high demand (even before the Fed). The points you make are the same ones they argued to bring in the Fed. History and facts show that even without the Fed America was on the verge of a steadier economy prior to 1913. Most of the worlds consumption was of American export. We only export jobs now.

[tr28901]

@TitanTony407 The industrial rise of the U.S made our economy even more vulnerable to Recessions. We were moving into a global economy & that is exactly what a federal reserve is for. The main purpose of the Fed is it's "supposed", key word supposed, to manage inflation & fluctuation in global markets. I'm not arguing that ((our)) Central Bank is good. It's not. But that's because it's been corrupted and is run behind closed doors with 0 accountability & closed books.

[tr28901]

@TitanTony407 Wanted to add to my last comment ...

A central bank itself is not bad. It does a lot of good things to help our economy and keep it stable. but like i said, it's not the central bank that is the problem. It's how it's run and who runs it. In our case , behind closed doors and run by bankers that have been pillaging U.S tax dollars for the last 60 + years.

[TitanTony407]

@tr28901 well, i agree and we're basically on the same side of the issue. The thing is, if/when they revamp it they will fill the offices with affiliates and friends of those already controlling it now. Which would only perpetuate corruption. At this rate, we'll be living like the Amish in no time lol.

[tr28901]

@TitanTony407 I'm what people call a "prepper"... I think we will be living like the Amish regardless of what happens with the Fed. lol

Anyway, i agree completely. The only thing i can add is that we need to remove Banks, Corporate America, special interest groups and lobbyists from Washington. If we do that, I'm fairly certain we could have a Central Bank that isn't corrupt. Might even have a government that isn't corrupt also. =)

[TitanTony407]

@tr28901 : ) i am too my friend, God Bless...btw i absolutely agree about the strange politics and even stranger politicians in Washington...i'm praying we don't have to use any of the preparations, but in being realistic we just might.

[mickeysears]

@tr28901 Sorry but this comment shows very little understanding of the Central Bank system. Only the big bankers and politcians push for a central bank. There is a reason for that. Politicians want to be able to create social programs that buy votes. Bankers are only too glad to oblige because central banks create money out of thin air and collect interest on it.

How much money would you create if you collect interest on every dollar created?

The central bank is corporatism NOT CAPITALISM

Bernie Sanders is probably the only currently elected politician that isn't 100% bought and paid for by corporate America and the banks.

Bernanke looks like he hasn't had any sleep for days.

I heard that the Chinese middle class in China was growing while the American middle class is on the decline. I say its time to boycott Chinese made goods in support of USA made products. Its hard at first avoiding Walmart but we have to spend our money on American made goods so the younger generation who graduate from high school and college can have a job. Buying Chinese made goods just brings sickness to the American economy's health. Stand up for made in the USA.

@vycaso This is by design, the Globalists are pulling the plug on the US and transferring their assets and companies/ intellectual property to China.....pull your money from the major banks and use local credit unions, that will do more damage to them...and yes, consume less stuff which is made in China, stop being a consumer.

[vycaso]

@apocolypse1022 I took note of everything you wrote. Why use local credit unions instead of a major banks?

[TitanTony407]

@vycaso i kno right...what happened to good ol safes? i keep mine in one...

[vycaso]

@apocolypse1022 I have to look into that with using credit unions.

[refink33]

@vycaso look at the BIG PICTURE. we are all in a global economy now, we buy CHEAP goods from china. We Americans cannot compete with the price of those goods. Hell we Americans think we're too good for even cheap labor jobs inside America, we have the illegal Mexicans do the hard labor in our country because we refuse to do it ourselves. Your pseudo boycott will never work. We're being fucked over by the million and billionaires of this country NOT CHINA !!

@vycaso Americans are always looking for the best deal when they shop. I support "made in America" and in fact, 80% of the goods manufactured by my company are made in the US, but that doesn't change the facts. If we start making items such as electronics in this country, not only will we not be able to compete based on higher wages, but no one will buy that more expensive TV.

@blueorangelettuce: The Credit Card is how people lived, buying thinks they can't afford, and now they will not be able to afford the payments, its basic you have been living beyond your means, even if you made things in America no one would buy them because they would not be able to afford them.

@maria610421 We have to start somewhere because buying from China is just killing our economy even though the goods are cheaper. We have to go through the pain of spending more money out of our wallets on American goods so America can make that transition of bringing jobs in America and then sell American made products back to countries overseas so that American made goods can make a profit and then later bring our goods to a lower price so that Americans can afford it.No one said it wud be easy

[maria610421]

@vycaso: I understand what you mean, a Balance of Trade, I agree with what you are saying, at the moment you have Chinese goods coming in and nothing going out. Even the Arms industry willl be afected because the poor people become its less likely that people will buy the war machines. 3000 Jobs went at BAE Systems Last week. I strongly believe the un tapped markets is where we need to look to create New businesses.

[schwartsbruder]

@maria610421 Indeed 10/100

[vycaso]

@blueorangelettuce What is the 80% of the things that you manufacture from your company thats made in the US and whats the 20% thats not?

[freshhug]

Bernanke - evil personified, most disgusting human being on the planet, way below pedofiles

[dansu92833]

Finally they notice "99%" of people.

[tradernorton05]

@dansu92833

judging from the tiny number of protestors at wall street, its obvious that 99 percent of people dont give a flying shit about these protests. Most Americans would rather sit on the couch and watch reality shows while eating twinkies.

Face it, these protests will putter out when cold weather sets in, and the protestors will retreat back into the coffee shops.

[EmergencyGear911]

@tradernorton05 Not this time! Most Americans don’t even know about this because the MEDIA doesn’t cover it and if they do they make it look like a joke! Obviously the entire Country can’t go and occupy Wall Street which is why they are springing up in all major cities around the Country! Now get off your own ass and go to one of these protests! I will this weekend…

[dansu92833]

@tradernorton05 So true that I think most protests were still shop walmart,cvs,,etc for their supply. So is kind weird right? wile they protest wall street but they continue purchase product from them.

PS:Um..what you mean of "tiny numbers"? 1000-2000 or some were between 5000-10000?

[manwello15]

Hang the bastard!
