  • The Corruption Runs DEEP END THE FED

  • Bernanke looks like he's on drugs...

  • Gosh, just when I was starting to think that all politicians are total scumbags, here's this Sanders fellow making it clear that average folks matter to him. All I can say is God bless him and Ron Paul!

  • @guyNbluejeans What's the matter with the American people? You have some smart people who are willing to help. Add Peter Schiff to the two you listed. Let them lead you out of this mess, if it's even possible.

  • @TheDia Personally, I'd prefer to torpedo the whole political system and, if possible, judicial system as well and replace them with a sleek and efficient set-up that allows citizens to participate directly in those things minus the human element as much as possible. We put rovers on Mars and men on the moon, so what's the problem with letting Americans assert their will via their home computers? Use an Army of Blue Meanies to enforce our tallied wishes and be done with these greedy politicians.

  • I can´t believe this guy is still the chairman of the FED. I can´t fucking believe it.

  • bernanke should have his assets frozen and chucked out onto the streets for a few weeks to fend for himself to get a taste of his own mess

  • much better, straight forward questioning than Ron Paul.

  • Bernie Sanders > Ron Paul

  • @fagtroll I think so too, but considering what the other GOP idiots have to offer...?

  • I agree with ron paul on personal freedoms. I strongly dissagree with his economic ideas. Free market is not self regulating and they are not socially responsible. I would argue the ron paul philosiphy is dangerous.

  • 3 words CORRUPTION CORRUPTION CORRUPTION

  • god bless you bernie you make me proud to be a Vermonter.

  • ben burnanke should be drowned in a bucket of yak piss have petrol pored over his body and burned to ashes placed in a shit pit for diarrhoeal victims..

  • what molding?

  • Fuck Ron Paul the real patriot is Bernie Sanders. Paul is a moron Sanders unders the real America.

  • I cant stand to listen to Burnanke. I want to punch that son of a bitch in the throat.

  • Shit, my computer has the Ron Paul virus again.

  • END THE REIN OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE ONCE AND FOR ALL. THEY ARE A PRIVATE BANKING CARTEL, THAT CREATES MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR,. THE FED IS TIED TO WALL STREET, AND ALL OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT. ONCE THE MAIN STREAM FOLKS REALIZE THIS, THEY WILL RIOT IN THE STREETS BURNING THEIR BILLS. OUR ECONOMY IS IN THE TOILET, BUT SO IS EVERYTHING.

  • DON'T BE FOOLED BY BERNIE SANDERS NONSENSE

    "We want to fix the Fed"

    nonsense as long as debt is attached to money we will always have boom and bust cycles

  • I see videos generating millions of views about juvenile nonsense, people trying to get attention, the same with sexual content even if it just the small icon and videos like these have hundreds percent less views, humans, homo sapiens sapiens, deserve to be controlled manipulated and raped, you damn fools, Rothschild all the way.

  • Oh, I see, Bernie, because you're so passionate about this, you gutted the audit bill and fucked the American people and Ron Paul. You fucked them, because you want to spew partisan (in his case Democratic) propaganda like "tax the rich!!!1" instead of real, non-partisan needs such as ending the Fed.

  • If only every American could see this shit. Most of the idiots in this country don't even realize that a run for profit cartel controls their money let alone that it can send it overseas without congressional approval.

  • OMG! You're right, look at the molding!!!

  • Comment removed

  • "..shall be drawn to the gallows, not walking or carried.." Commercial Banking v. Investmet Banking.. "and ne'er the twain shall meet.."

  • Bernanke is a filthy criminal and a stinking liar and should be dealt with

  • the fed loan got 9 trillion in sep ,oct 2008 its on here came out 2010

  • Audit the Federal Reserve and End It!

  • can't stop looking at the swastika behind him.

  • I don't agree with you about socialism Bernie, but damnit, hat's off for REPRESENTING your constituents and the American People.

    lefty/righty paradigm of division is crumbling. We are all the 99%, End The Damn Fed and restore the Republic!

  • You can sense that Bernanke is nervous as heck. The fact that we have a liberal/socialist (Sanders) one side and a libertarian/conservative (Ron Paul) on the other demanding some serious answers from the Fed and these douchebag corporations should tell people something. It's a pity we don't have enough of these politicians, because if we did, this problem would have been solved some time ago, OR it wouldn't have transpired in the first place!! Thank you Bernie Sanders!!

  • Man, Bernie Sanders is "bad ass". I love how he effortlessly just tears a hole right through these disgusting, fraudulent, bullshit excuses/answers. The Senate needs 99 more Bernies.

  • How can you reform the system, when Bernanke is in control???

    It`s like trying to solve the murder where the killer himself is the head of investigation... except it`s not the movie...

  • Goodness.. This one of the videos that I never get tired watching over and over again..

  • WHERE IS THE INDICTMENT, BERNIE? You suck.

  • I almost feel bd for Bernanke he looks like he is about to cry

  • i can t believe this, actually congress has completely lost power, bernake is arrogant and condenscending knowing he does not have to answer to these congressmen, i feel sorry for america

  • Audit the motherfuckers.

  • Comment removed

  • TREASON !

  • PwnT

  • holy crap I'm not an American but this guy makes me mad! He's lying on every level and is totally disconnected from the real world. America, WAKE UP!!!!

  • This makes me sick!

  • Jamie Dimon (JP Morgan Chase) is the only CEO left that played a part in the mortgage lending. Citigroup's CEO started just before 2008. Bank of America just got a new one. Wells Fargo played no part in anything. So this guy is retarded which explains why he's a senator and not Chairman of the Federal Fuckin Reserve.

  • Didn't know you could say no to a us congress c hearing

  • @doogleandalix Ron Paul is a red herring. Look at what he's said in the latest republican debates.

  • @doogleandalix I have to much faith in the goodness of government to vote Ron Paul. He is merely right wing extreme 2.0 and he would strip any regulatory power of federal entities and turn regulation over to the very companies that are currently not self regulating. If you want an oligarchy, vote Ron Paul.

  • @farmhousenewbie you are an idiot if you dont believe in RON PAUL!

  • @farmhousenewbie The Federal entities are the very agencies we should be stripping of power ! It is a case of the fox watching the henhouse - the government, in general , is so corrupt.that it boggles the mind. I believe Ron Paul is one of the few who actually care about the state of the country and its people . I am sticking with Ron Paul til the end - a man of integrity .

  • Look at the molding in the background.

  • @superwawisuperstars Yeah, so?

  • @superwawisuperstars Nazi Swastikas are the other way around

  • @ThatAdelaideGuy

    They can be identified or displayed either way.

  • @superwawisuperstars No, Nazi Swastikas go clockwise. Other Swastikas can go whatever direction they want

  • @ThatAdelaideGuy

    So, is it other swastikas? Who knows, just something to think about.

  • @superwawisuperstars funny, its close to JPM's logo. And Columbia Sportswear. And Mechanic's Bank. And about 50 other corporate logos. Hmmmm...?

  • @superwawisuperstars good point good post 

  • @superwawisuperstars Indeed, the opposite of the infamous Nazi Swastika. It is a design that has been used for centuries throughout many cultures such as ancient india, as well as chinese culture which stood for eternity. This era of elite are far more dangerous than Hitler.

  • @superwawisuperstars

    The american flag should have one hidden behind the stars

  • This shows the Feds ignorance that they don't even try to argue with congress.

    If I was Ben Bernanke I could make that twat Sanders eat his words.

  • @Salvysahagun nah bro, the federal reserve has way to much power

  • @tzDub92

    I kno that. I'm just statin how ignorant they are. Ben Bernanke doesn't even try to argue with this idiot.

    It wouldn't be that hard to make Sanders look like a fool.

  • Leading by example, so I should get to do it...

    still waitingon the zombie apokolypse

  • Jews out is the only way forward. All else is Genocide of the white Race.

  • @IceAgeColumbus This bigot should be kicked out of any intelligent discussion.

  • @IceAgeColumbus Oh, shut up.

  • @IceAgeColumbus Well Who owns all the big banks.. Jews, who owns the federal reserve Ben Bernake who is ajew and has ties with rothschilds family, all these banks get countrys in debt( why every country in the world is now) look it up. The rothschild secret

  • Ron Paul slaps down these CFR,IMF puppets .Money controls these GOP puppets!! .He's the only man up there that is not afraid of the Washington machine,same groups that were wrong about Iraq, killed close to a million people, most were innocent people .The money machine just needs to keep the lies going, and fool the world .They create conflicts for profit,and enslave the people thru debt and taxes.Its simply world traders, investment firms, and banks,even the Fed Reserve, READ HISTORY

  • God Bless people like Bernie Sanders who are not afraid to fight for justice against big business...if only more people would fight and stand for their rights, big business would find it harder to own people....it's the majority of the people..you and I, that have allowed big business to OWN US..LET'S NOT KID OURSELVES..BIG BUSINESS OWNS US. IT OWNS ME. IT OWNS YOU. WE HAVE BECOME THEIR SLAVES..OUR DENIAL, IGNORANCE AND LAZINESS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WILL CONTINUE ENSLAVING US..

  • You want to know who started this mess? Are you ready? These two (Cheney and Bush) get it, what was there famous saying, {What Constitution}. Colin Powell said you'll own it bang 14 trillion we own it with 2 cowboys riding away without trial like Butch Cassidy And the Sundance Kid. But the grave is not prejudice, its time that will win.

  • Comment removed

  • Others on the internet say groups called the Bilderbergers, Carlyalls, Rosecrans, Rothschild s, Bushes, Rockefeller, Coopers, Halliburton, Queen of England many many more including the Pope worth trillions they want to change the world into a N.W.O to a form a communism there preparing everybody for the giant collapse they will hide in there holes till every thing is done and 2 billion people are left.

  • Ron Paul is a loser he tries again and again hes in the wrong party the republicans. Bottom line they dont like him. Bernanke He is old style senator he should run independent what he got to lose. And Obama is a tea party executive he laughs with them like nothing happens remember golf game, they were setting it up.

  • He sounds uncomfortable and nervous. He should be.

  • We love you bernie!

    I love the Paul Sanders idea! It would get my vote for sure!

    Those two are the only ones truely representing the peoples voice.

  • look at the symbol to the left of sanders head.. premeditated???

  • @yup5220 that is a symbol of peace

  • THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. It's business versus the average citizen and we'd be kidding ourselves if we think big business is not winning. I'm not American but God bless people such as Bernie Sanders. He speaks volumes for the average citizen and what a lot of people are thinking. Good to see he put his foot down.. "and we're gonna introduce legislation today by the way, to demand that you do that" ........why aren't more politicians like this? Just hope he's got good body guards.

  • Paul-Sanders 2012? Please?

  • @sgthobbes2

    What about Paul-Grayson 2012?

    My personal favorite, Paul-(Judge Andrew)Napolitano 2012.

    Wanna talk about bringing mass support into it, the good Judge could do just that.

  • @sgthobbes2 I'd rather have Kucinich-Sanders 2012

  • @sgthobbes2 I don't think Sanders-Paul is a compatible ticket. On social issues they may be able to agree, but economically the differences are vast.

  • Thank you for saying exactly what Ive been thinking!! Thank you Sanders! RON PAUL 2012!

  • @shannalgreen Sanders and Ron Paul are completely different people.. At the opposite ends of the spectrum in fact.

  • restore glass steagal act!

  • Henry Ford once said"Its best the public doesn't know about the banking system of America if they did there would already be a revolution

  • How stupid could Bernie Sander be. Most the money the Fed loans out, it prints it self

    It is totally self dependent with 0% tax payer subsidies!

  • @2020starman

    Even Ron Paul knows the Fed doesn't need tax payer subsidies.

    The only time tax payers pay the Fed is when The Federal Governemnt Borrows money from it.

    Otherwise it is a TOTALLY private bank.

    Btw Ron Paul supports Free Trade and 0% income tax.

  • @Salvysahagun I think Ron Paul is on record stating that he's for actual free trade rather than the crap we got going now. Allowing other nations unfettered access to one's markets with no thought as to your own market's ability to sustain itself isn't trade - it's suicide. That's why the Japanese refused the notion of such an unbalanced trade scheme long ago - the underlying theme of the movie "The last Samurai" Our war of independance was fought to stop a king from imposing such abuses.

  • @havoc092

    American School of Economics.

  • @Salvysahagun The schools are controlled by socialists. That isn't a secret either. The ultimate socialist dream is world communism. The US has stood against tyranical socialism. So if you can get it to implode by undermining it's trade agreements and therefore it's market, you de-industrialize the nation (no ability to mobilize for war), you remove their ability to gather wealth (no ability to pay for defense), and you do so while living on subsidies from the Nice US people.

  • @havoc092

    Please look into the American System of Economics.

    The dominate ideas between 1860-1900

  • @Salvysahagun How about if we deal with the facts on the ground that we know and not try to blame a bunch of horsecrap about ideas. Anyone that didn't know this was a disaster in the making should be impeached for being unfit for office. And if you're actually going to try and defend this mess that everyone Knew was going to be a mess before the 92 election, you're insane. Not only was it known, but the path of destruction is far worse than was predicted. No excuse.

  • @havoc092

    The post war boom enden in 1970

    We had high taxes on the rich in 1970s and it was VERY stagnant.

    Reaganonomics was accepted because people where desperate for a new approach

  • @Salvysahagun This nation became a super power by Congress doing it's job and protecting our market from being subverted.  That involves import duties to level the playing field and keep enemies from doing what King George III attempted to do at this nation's outset. 1970 is a handwringing talking point. It's a crock. And it's usually employed as an attempt to defend Carter as if he was just a victim of hard times instead of having made his mess. Any relevant excuses?

  • @Salvysahagun You might also figure out that if you think people were fed up then - what do you think they are now - knowing that the American people were four square against these trade deals and had them shoved down their throats in dead of the night sessions in violation of both the rules of congress and of the law? Fed up doesn't quite paint the picture.

  • So, again, King George raised taxes on colonial goods, lowered taxes on british goods in order to keep the colonists from amassing wealth. At least George didn't open the floodgates for every cheap good in the world to come in back then. We know the results from when this was done as a tactic of warfare and to imagine it works any different when the whole world's goods are cheaper is not a credible position to take.

  • In short, you can't win this discussion unless you're impervious to facts. And then you'll only have won in your own mind.. something that socialists often don't get. Treason is treason.  And you can't excuse the best and brightest as though they are just misunderstood or inept. They are traitors and IMHO need to be stood up in a courtroom and convicted of it and then lined up against a wall.

  • So, no.. Socialist school of Economics. The founders framed the constitution to prevent this sort of thing.

    We're in this mess now because neither of the parties will pay any attention to the Constitution. Traitors don't seem to much care until they're held to account. At that point they'll usually spit at you.

  • get 'em bernie!

  • We need everyone in America to be true patriot! This is America, we are Americans, we don't stand for this shit!

    The revolution was about getting away from the bankers! We need to get our strength bank and get the truth out about what is going on!

    We need the Constitution back! Fight for freedom! Never stop fighting!

    Wake up Americans, we are being fucked everyday!

  • sanders.senate.gov

    He has letter to Obama that can be signed

  • some politicians are damn!!!! this guy probably has no idear what fractional reserve banking is and how it works.

  • @Fireblazer666 Screw that, a socialist for president?

  • This Bernie Sanders is retarded.

    The Federal Reserve is private bank, and is not funded by Tax payers.

    God he would be a socialist.

  • @Salvysahagun The Federal Reserce is a quasi-independent gov't institution, which is why the head of it is appointed by gov''t, and is required to report to Congress.

  • I'm pretty sure Ben owned him

  • I agree Sanders and Kucinch the only TWO in the house and Senate who truly cares about the american people. These two have fought big oil, big business, crony captislism and stood with the majority on issues of war and peace. Sanders know exactly where the wall street thugs took our money but he wants them to tell us. The Fed is a secret organization that has no oversight whatsoever, why do we need them..put our money in the US treasury for the american people.

  • @spktruth200 If Bernie Sanders was given the power, he would turn America into the peoples republic of America.

  • @jjenson2006 This comment is stupid. The head of the IMF -- which is quintessentially capitalist -- who was alleged to have sexually assaulted a NY hotel maid is a SOCIALIST. Winston Churchill was a SOCIALIST.

    You simply don't kknjow what you're talking about -- and with every post you reveal that fact.

  • @JNagarya The IMF is world government, which is a communistic organization.

    You fail misserably!

  • @jjenson2006 You're iliterate in at minimum history, law, and economics.

    The IMF is quint3essentially capitalist.

  • @JNagarya "You're iliterate in at minimum history, law, and economics."

    I'm not illiterate at all. I just don't get my "facts" from biased hate groups. Everything I discussed is in line with that of Milton Friedman, Ludwig Von Mises and any free market economic philosophy that goes against Marxism.

  • @JNagarya "The IMF is quint3essentially capitalist"

    This one statement is a contradiction to itself. It's actually comical for anyone who is serious (as opposed to a comedian) to say such a thing.

    How could the IMF (a governing body that regulates capitalism) be considered capitalist? That would be like saying the police are criminals because they regulate crime. LOL

  • @JNagarya

    "Winston Churchill was a SOCIALIST"

    What kind of crack are you smoking?

    "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

  • @jjenson2006 Yes, Winston Churchill was a Socialist. Moreover, illiterate, some of the US's staunchest allies have systems consisting of: Monarchy; Democratically-elected parliaments; Socialst economies. They have such bizarre foreign names as: Britain, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

    As for the "gospel of envy": learn why John Adams established separation of powers into three coeqqual branches: it was to constrain the greed that informs capitalism.

  • @JNagarya What does "Winston Churchill is a socialist" and "Hitler loved jews" have in common? Both are uneducated opinions and neither has a credible reference.

    You call Winston Churchill a socialist and don't provide ANY references to it at all, yet a google search for "Winston Churchill" and "Socialism" comes up with only hits that portait him as anti-socialist. Why do you make stuff up and pass it on as fact?

  • @spktruth200 The "Fed" is a quasi-independent gov't institution established by Congress, the head of which is appointed by gov't -- Reagan appointed Greenspan. And the head of which is REQUIRED to report to Congress.

    You begin your post asserting "Leftist" views; then you spew far-REICH wing lunatic nonsense against the Fed.

    Inform yourself of the basics of the political spectrum (it isn't limited to "Left" and "Right"; but the stupid are limited to that); then make up your mind.

  • @Fireblazer666 Why would you want a self-proclaimed socialist for president?

  • So Sen. Sanders is asking that; 1. The Fed reveal the names of substantially healthy banks that borrow short term monies on a collateralized basis, 2. We make high interest rates on credit cards illegal, and 3. Fire private executives. With the Fed Reserve Chairman sitting directly in front of him, is that really the best set of questions he can come up with?

  • Bernie Sanders,professional snake handler! Wow,what a good job exposing a slimy soul with not a single honest answer to a slew of honest questions! TRILLIONS and this is the evasive answers we get when the moneylenders are called on the carpet? You have to wonder how much this one breed of ( I hesitate) PERSON? is making annually? Vermonter here and supporter of Mr. Sanders!

  • On the 60 Minutes interview w/ Bernanke they said that in 2008 3 trillion in Fed Money went to Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other major banks as well as major industrial firms like GE. So the same players that got the TARP money. At the time, Citigroup had over 1 trillion dollars in assets. They did not need "bailing out". At the same time, millions of Americans were losing their homes, and continue to.

  • @Fireblazer666 Bernie doesn't take any mess.  Cuts throught the bullshit. Give ';em hell.

  • LOL.. AHHH WHERE IS THIS ALL GOING OMG ...GOD HELP US

  • amen

    

  • ron and rand paul would dismember this country in a heartbeat. They both want to end the social safety net as we know it...they want to drown the government in the bathtub and make it only for military....who will build our bridges, and schools....corporate america? come on these are two right wing ann rand loosers.

  • @spktruth200 "these are two right wing ann rand loosers[sic]."

    So many mistakes in one sentence. Neither are right wing. They're libertarians. They only run under republican because running as libertarian doesn't work. Her name is Ayn Rand, not Ann Rand and losers is spelled with one 'o', not two. You know nothing about Ayn Rand other than propaganda that someone else gave you.

    If Ron Pauls bill was passed in 2003, the GSE's wouldn't have been bailed out by taxpayers. Google "H.R. 3071"

  • @jjenson2006 Ayn Rant was a Czarist. A far-RIGHT wing lunatic fringer with NO education in economics. In addition, she was a methedrine addict, and relied on Medicaid for health care.

    "Libertarians" are either teenagers who have no experience in the world, or psychotics who refuse to learn from history.

  • Sanders is asking, "Why are frauds and other crimes not being prevented?" Bernanke is saying, "Better we continue to only regulate fraud and other crimes."

    That's "Libertarianism": don't prevent or prosecute crimes; the "market" will "fix" them. That is lunatic fringe poppycock: the consequence of allowing the crime was the financial meltdown -- from which many "Libertarians"/crooks got wealthy at the expense of the majority. Greenspan admitted that was wrong.

  • @JNagarya You don't know what you're talking about. You just explained your understanding of what libertarianism is which is totally the opposite.

    BTW - Greenspan is not libertarian, even though he describes himself as one. Libertarian's believe in free markets and central banks control the money supply and interest rates. Being the chief of an entity that controls the money supply and interest rates is the very definition of the OPPOSITE of a libertarian.

    Sanders is a Socialist!

  • @jjenson2006 Greenspan attempted to implement his "Libertarian" views, but ran into obstacles called RULE OF LAW. The purpose of the "central bank" is to establish and maintain stability in the economy, without which necessity the economy would as volatile day-to-day as the market.

    The FOUNDERS/FRAMERS established regulation: it's called GOV'T. That is because they recognized reality: humans are imperfect, therefore cannot function other than destructively unless there are rules.

  • @JNagarya

    "The purpose of the "central bank" is to establish and maintain stability in the economy"

    Really? So what happened? LOL

    Central banks are unconstitutional.

    "The FOUNDERS/FRAMERS established regulation: it's called GOV'T."

    Let's see you cook up a reference to this "fact". You simply ignore the fact that government itself is made up of humans.

  • @jjenson2006 What happened, jackass, was DEREGULATION, pushed by such as Greenspan. And about which he ultimately admitted he was WRONG; and he learned directly from addict and lunatic Ayn Rant.

    The fact is, jackass, that the gov't is a system of laws; or, as John Adams wrote in the MA-Bay constitution, "A system of laws, and not of men." That system of laws, among other things, establishes rules, secures freedoms, and limits on those freedoms. Gov't is regulation.

  • @JNagarya "What happened, jackass"

    Those who actually have a counterargument, use it. Those that don't use an Ad hominem attack.

    "learned directly from addict and lunatic Ayn Rant."

    Exactly what did he learn from Ayn Rand to damage the economy? He lowered interest rates to 1%, I suppose that was Ayn Rands philosophy. Government guaranteed mortgages, I suppose that was Ayn Rands philosophy. The government FORCED banks to make loans to risky borrowers, I suppose that was her philosophy.

  • @jjenson2006 He learned directly from NON-economist Ayn Rant the hogwash about "free markets". There has never been a free marklet, history-illiterate. The market is always controlled -- eithe by the minority corporate sector for the benefit only of itself, or by the gov't for the benefit of all.

    Fascism: economy/gov't dominated by private corporate sector. And that's the same as "Libertarian" hucksterism.
