Senator Sanders Unfiltered: Bernanke Out, Progressive In!

[lakishadressel]

kinda interesting...

[RubberSoull1]

I love this guy

[EyeSeeQQ]

THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEN BERNANKE! ! ! ! THE PROBLEM IS THE "FEDERAL RESERVE" ! ! ! ! SURELY YOU "KNOW" THAT, SENATOR.

What a farce.

This system is comin DOWN.

And the people of the America, and the people of the world have paid the price with slave labor.

If you folks don't know WHAT the "Federal Reserve Banking System" is by now, then you are going to be the ones jumping out of windows to your suicided death without knowing the facts when the collapse comes.

Research it here on YT.

" Why would Obama appoint key member of Bush's administration to continue on as a chamber of federal reserve? ". Well, Obama did NOT; The same group of elites who were running the show behind the scene during Bush presidency DID. SADLY, I started being easy on Bush after having realized that even Obama (who seems to be way smarter) has no control over government (he is in fact under control). I am not going to waste my time campaigning for any candidate any more; Obama was my last hope. Liar...

[BraunB4Brain]

Sanders makes it seem like the Fed can loan directly to individuals at an incredibly low interest rate comparable to the discount rate. That's never been the way our central bank works. If you consider yourself an opponent of Bernanke, look into William Dudley's recent comments about asset bubbles.

[CommunistProgressive]

the fed is illegal. the fed was voted out in 1776 when our founders said it leads to slavery.

our government is F*ed up simple enough. we need more honesty and less tyranny.

[willyD200]

Obama seems to be nothing more than another shill for Corporate America!

This is getting so tiresome...we get shafted and they grow rich. We witness this day in day out and still do nothing about it but talk! Time for other actions.

[M4NIF3STD3STINY]

man... i wish this guy was representing my state...

[mungojelly]

@M4NIF3STD3STINY Well there is one way to be represented by Senator Sanders-- do what I did, move to Vermont! :D Fresh air, beautiful views, and progressive representation are among this state's many charms. :)

[BI30]

Bernie, you need to remind people that If a company is "too big to fail", that means it can engage in risky behavior without concern for the consequences because they KNOW the government would have to bail them out if things go wrong.

THAT is why "too big to fail" = "too big to exist". Please remind people of that.

[fatkat444]

Bernanke '12

[prisha91755]

GET BERNANKE OUT!!!!!

[hypnofan35]

When was the last time Khalid Sheik Muhammed admitted to being the mastermind of the 911 attacks? The last time he was waterboarded and he finally admitted to it because they just weren't giving him a break in the constant water boarding torture. While we hear that he was the mastermind every day on the hoopla news (CNN) or any controlled news structure. Torture the guy near to death 3 times a day and he will admit to being the real "Ming the Merciless" and mastermind of all evil. WTF?

[hypnofan35]

You got the tribes of Israel, which, by the way, are a very cohesive, coherant, and gaming compulsive culture. This would probably mean they only trust one another, and tend to shut out and enslave the indigenous population as a "manifest denstiny: kind of thing. You cannot really tell gamers and gamblers of a particular culture that they might be setting up a situation that can only be stopped with some manner of force. Where are we at now? Somebody tell me, how to deter a fortress mentality.

[hypnofan35]

It's social engineering by taking the cash away and putting it in their own overseas accounts. It's the leaders' perogative to keep it secret and tell everyone to just jam it up their "b** holes". If you dragged them out and took their stuff then you'd be the bad guy. We should wait for a huge natural disaster and then take their stuff. Yay! Life is cheap for them especially your life.

[hypnofan35]

i have a sure fire way of fixing things by saving all the energy we presently throw away. It would take a little investment, but it would make the whole of the Earth's population more stabile by a long shot. Would we even try? no!!!..Why Social engineering with profit taking by the rich. It would stop global warming and create a whole new industry. The rich took down the WTC so they could take the country to war for profit. What? Are we stupid?

[centurion180ad]

The Senator's sentiments are that the FED must cater to the desire of representative government rather than the other way around, but I object to his characterization of FED behavior.

Because the actions of the FED bewilder Congress, John & Jane Q. Public, does not mean that the FED operators are irresponsible or somehow mistaken.

The FED is doing /exactly/ what it is set up to do.

It is a treason, plunging America into a debt and deindustrialization, which she may never recover from.

[RaccoonPaw]

Independents give me Joe Lieberman flashbacks.

Deaths*Lobby

Welcome my friend to the lobby that never mends,

Credit and debt, corporate agendas always met,

Consumer, taxpayer and citizens pay our bills, while the environment suffers the road kill,

Airways, waterways, public health, trash it all to build our wealth,

Welcome my friend to the power and greed which rapes your future, to fulfill our lobbyist needs,

As we ship your jobs overseas, America bleeds through halfway measures and legislative deeds.

Unite the C.H.A.O.S.

[mrlurp]

I feel bad for Obama because hes damned if he does and damned if he doesnt. He forces these changes and the ass holes on Wall Street decide to rip this countries financial system apart again to try and show they have the power. Fox News, OReilly, Beck, everybody bashes Obama for it and blames him for the collapse or a socialist agenda. He does what hes doing now, trying to keep everyone happy and all of it a bit more balanced and everyone still does the same thing to him.

[nriqueog]

@mrlurp Funny, my grandma always told me "Never try to make EVERYONE happy, you just end up doing nothing but getting everyone MAD at you"....

[DojoNDude]

So, in other words, we could have CHANGE today if Mr. Obama wanted to give it to us. And when you consider the bad behavior of the banks, is there any reason why we shouldn't have a populist at the helm of the fed? So where is the CHANGE Mr. Obama? Why can't you get with your own program?!?!

[GoMetricToday]

Sadly the FED is a private company. That essentially holds the US at its mercy.

[centurion180ad]

Debt Syndicate loans dont go to John & Jane Q. Public, to operate their Main Street small and medium enterprise.

Debt Syndicate loans go to undead horrors such as Wal Mart, to complete the sabotage and destruction of all American production while plunging every many woman & child into hundreds of thousands of dollars of national debt.

[johndownunder]

There are obviously highly intelligent people in the Obama administration.Their are obviously many intelligent people serving in the Senate and Congress.Why is it then that they dont get rid of the Fed and have the US Government issue and control it's own currency.Does it make any sense to have a privately owned bank control the government by means of their corrupt influence when those people have deliberately destroyed the financial security of the nations citizens. Intelligent but with a ?

[drgoodvibesxxx]

Just so you know the FEd is not a privately owned bank. If you don;t believe me check in wiki

[johndownunder]

drgoodvibesxxx

The Federal Reserve is owned jointly by the following banks.There is nothing Federal about the bank accept in it's naming in 1913.

1. Rothschild Banks of London and Berlin 2. Lazard Brothers Bank of Paris 3. Israel Moses Sieff Banks of Italy 4. Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Germany and Amsterdam 5. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York 6. Lehman Brothers Bank of New York 7. Goldman Sachs Bank of New York 8. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York (Controlled By Rockefellers ).

[drgoodvibesxxx]

If i get a nickle every time someone watches an alex jones video and thinks that they understand the federal reserve i would be rich. Just because AJ says it does not make it fact. The Federal Reserve is an independent body that sets monetary policy for the US and the chairman is appointed by the president. Now that is a fact. Do the member banks have undue influence? That is debatable. Watching a half baked docu does make you an expert period

[Paolo7219]

And if I had a nickel for every right winger who didn't know what s/he is talking about, I would be rich. The Fed is actually a quasi government agency. their head is a government appointee. Doesn't that qualify as a government agency? If you think the New York Fed is not THE dominant Fed , then YOU don't know what you are talking about. The twelve regional banks are a front; the Fed is actually a central bank owned by people who want to remain anonymous. Now isn't that comforting? Nice and safe

[austinsaxmansteve]

Right on! Jones isn't an economist, historian, or forensics expert. He just plays one on (public access) TV!

[wildcatbungalo]

Yes it does make sense.

Would you borrow money from a bipolar nutcase? Or a private entity who possess the logical compulsion of protecting the value of your borrowed money?

Political expedience or value of your borrowed money?

Seriously, think about it.

And we ALLOWED the wealthy and the Fed to do what it did - simply following the rules (or lack thereof) of Capitalism.

And the financial security of the few with the most has remained stable (for now though it cannot last).

[hypnofan35]

Unhappily in gambling or gaming behavior their is only one goal: Winning more money for oneself and thereby becoming legend or famous... It is done by whatever means available and will likely involve collusion, conspiracy, or general conniving. They all see it as a game with big monetary and attention rewards, that they must win or be ignored. Think of bunch of cultural types, sitting at a giant poker table signaling one another in "friendly ways". They will never do anything bad for them.

[exenrontexas]

The BUSH Sec. of the Treasury, Paul O'Neill, in his book "The Price of Loyalty" said that up until that time (2006) the Iraq war had cost America a TRILLION dollars and both BUSH wars will end up costing America ELEVEN TRILLION DOLLARS.

My question to ALL BUSH supporters and especially the GOP is "Where was your fiscal conservatism when BUSH was lying to America about WMDs?" BOTH Osama and Saddam were ONE BULLET PROBLEMS at the time so WHY was the GOP eager to spend ELEVEN TRILLION?

[exenrontexas]

I believe the answer to that questiion that they wanted to give that money to the military industrialist complex that Eisenhower warned America about and DENY it in any way to the benefit of the American PEOPLE. Where was the GOP when the money that could provide healthcare reform was given to Halliburton and the Carlyle Group?

BTW: The BUSH Sec. of the Army who let the NO BID contracts to Halliburton was Tom White who was ALSO an ENRON executive.

[CDLver]

Senator Sanders, the American people can always count on your pointed commentary.

[ddamico3]

rev 2:9 and 3:9. nuff said.

[Yostiemonster]

We need to print money to fund healthcare for the poor and middle class and hire them build and install solar panels and windmills and nuclear power plants to get us off fossil fuels which is destroying the planet and funding terror strikes against us. The money will naturally "trickle up" mostly to the rich. We then need to tax the hell out of the rich to take money out of the system to prevent hyper-inflation.

[Yostiemonster]

The Golden Rule! He who has the gold makes the rules! "Who runs Bartertown?"

[iLovePalestineDotCom]

It is funny when you watch a senior Zionist 5th column tribal member pretend to attack another fellow Zionist cult member. The American people are the most gullible people on the face of earth to buy this crap! America is more occupied by the ZionistJooz than Palestine is, the only difference is that most Americans are spineless cowards to fight for their country, land, democracy, and are just watching in amazement as ZioJooz control them (use them and abuse them) like cattle!

[moviebuff52]

I Love PalestineDotCom... your a fucking bigot

[iLovePalestineDotCom]

@moviebuff52

bigot? haaaaaaa

I hope i did not disturb your slumber! go back to sleep the ship is very safe, there is a Zionist at the wheel, you have nothing to worry your little head about.

Now go back to sleep... sweet dreams!

[drgoodvibesxxx]

why is he a bigot because he speaks the truth.

[TheFlex21]

@moviedumbass52

you're an abject moron & faggot

[librano]

just end the fed

[TheFlex21]

@quinnmcguee

they're all on the same team

sanders is just taking advantage by trying to score some political points

[afferch]

He almost had me fooled, but your comment opened my eye's, We should abolish the FED, the IMF, and the entire global banking system, Bernanke losing his job would be a minor victory for justice however! Sanders is pandering to public opinion and has no real solution.

[RonRepublican]

86 the Federal Reserve Banking system.

[WhirlingWolves]

Well Senator Sanders how about this? Why don't you sir filibuster Bernake's reappointment?

Would that not be part of doing "everything I can to see that nomination is defeated"?

Because those were your exact words sir that I just heard.

[thecrusadingdebator]

What does progressive even mean?

[okayillgonow]

a broad definition would be: a person promoting or favoring progress towards improved conditions or new policies, ideas or methods.

Progressivism: A political ideology that favours progress towards better conditions in society

[thecrusadingdebator]

And Bernanke was not progressivebecause he screwed up badly?

That's like saying that I'm not amazing because I'm a hedgehog. It makes no sense. Sanders must be blathering again.

[RWDixon8r]

Progressive ≠ Facism/Communism

[thecrusadingdebator]

Is that a 'does not equal' sign?

[RWDixon8r]

Yes.

[aptspire]

What the low income family wants, now more than ever, is complete clarity over the matter of Wall Street and the ability to handle his stock without being kept in the dark by a handful of people looking for their own interest.

[goog2k]

The 2008 meltdown could have been totally prevented, but in 1998 Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin, and lacky Larry Summers conspired to prevent proper regulation of Wall Street, banks, and the derivative market.

Brooksley Born, head of the CFTC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, specifically WARNED of the coming disaster and tried to impose regulations but was stopped by the three stooges.

See the explosive expose online:

PBS Frontline: THE WARNING.

[goog2k]

"We didn't truly know the dangers of the market, because it was a dark market," says Brooksley Born, the head of the CFTC, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, who not only warned of the potential for economic meltdown in the late 1990s, but also tried to convince the country's key economic powerbrokers to take actions that could have helped avert the crisis.

"They were totally opposed to it," Born says. "That puzzled me. What was it that was in this market that had to be hidden?" Frontline

[medliberty]

Why wasnt Bernake held in contempt of Congress and fired for refusing to answer questions?

[AshillaBeige]

Wasn't Bernanke a progressive?

He was a Keynsian. You got a taste of what you wanted and now you want more?

[Organjic]

yep, youre right! Sanders wants a guy worse than Ben.

[midgetman433]

alsolutely false, he was in no way a progressive...

[AshillaBeige]

Then you don't know what progressivism is, dearie..

[midgetman433]

no madame... Bernanke is not a progressive in any sense... look at his policies during the bush administration... there was no regulation.. there was actually deregulation which contradicts some aspects of Keynesian economics..

[undertow0510]

Blame the enitre system. It's designed to keep everyone down....AUDIT & END THE FED NOW!!!

[Organjic]

agree!

[zimnochmusic]

@undertow0510 Yes! Unfortunately, the last President who signed legislation to try and make that change was assassinated. Coincidence???

[JohnnyZina]

Blame George W Bush.

[loci1400]

Go farther back, remember Ronald Reagan and Gordon Gecko?

[Organjic]

No, don't just blame Bush, blame Obama, Clinton, Bush Sr, Nixon, and the people above them. BLAME THE FED(mostly).

Sanders wants another big spending moron, a thousand times worse that Bernanke. If Sanders was really honest, he wouldn't want anyone appointed to the seat and END THE FED.

[JohnnyZina]

@Organjic

Blame Obama?

How the fuck was the bailout his responsibilty.

You anarchist fuck, Barack Obama had nothing to do with the bailout, it was all Bush.

[Organjic]

LOL do 2 minutes of research and youll find Obama was responsible for the second wave of bailouts.

Anarchist?  lol, watch some of my favorites.

[JohnnyZina]

That wasn't a bailout you idiot it was the economic stimulus.

The market is up 30% since Obama took office, and 19% since the stimulus.

[Organjic]

you are an idiot...
