Ron Paul Grills Ben Bernanke on Rate Cuts Driving Inflation

[thatguy1252]

OMG stop it at 1:50....see teens arnt the only ones that do it in class and we get in trouble for doing it...grown ups do it to....that guy (behind Ron Paul) was TEXTING..you see him put his cell back in his coat

[greenmarine5]

Bernanke needs what all the corrupt politicians need and that's a position in the unemployment line !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1dducks]

Ben Bernanke is talking outta his ass.

[devinhon]

Why does it take Ron Paul a thousand years to make a point? He reminds me of my grandpa when he doesn't get exactly half of his cup full of ice when he gets a soft drink at a fast food restaurant. Bernanke is probably just sitting there thinking, " Someone needs to tell this guy that I was a tenured Economics professor at Princeton." He has some good ideas but holy crap, get to the point!

[greenmarine5]

@devinhon That's easy to answer he want's to make sure everyone knows exactly whats going on and that people have all the facts

[thatguy1252]

@devinhon thats ALL politicians, they cant just straight up give you a yes no answer, they have to beat around the bush, and take the long way so that they can say it their way and get their point across

[pheromoneaction]

Keep up the good video work looking good. When you have time come visit my channel!

[just4funzees]

Paul is gonna get himself killed. But I pray he doesn't!

A lot of people are really starting know what the Fed is and how crooked it all is and refreshingly they're getting angry.

[waterchildtera]

Ben Bernanke is a lair !

treason !

[just4funzees]

@waterchildtera I think you mean "Liar" although lair kinda works, sort of.

[heracleskalel]

Ron Paul either ignores or is unaware of the fact that in a recession economy, and especially when an economy is not at full employment when the fed would be adopting an inflationary policy, there will likely, if not certainly be deflationary pressures in the economy caused by a contraction in the aggregate demand curve for all nonessential goods. It would be possible for deflationary pressures to outstrip inflationary policy by the federal reserve

[CardinalSinga]

I trust Ron Paul more than the Bankers eventhough the latter make the Rich richer. If only the Middle Class and the masses of poor people do not need to choose between the Rock and a Hard Place. Democracy vs Demonscracy (worship of Money).

[PHiSHin11]

Bernanke got pwned.

[miked826]

Last year Ron Paul's bill, H.R. 2755: Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act, introduced during the 110th congressional session, had no cosigners and was never passed into law. Hence at the end of that session, H.R. 2755 was cleared from the books. Ron Paul should be grilling the corrupt idiots in the 110th Congress. Everyone should vote them out of a job come election time. Who's with me? LOL

[mityboosh]

are you bernanke??? cmon you know whats wrong with all this, 1913 to know the dolar is 4 cents ,bernanke,greenspan ect get your head out the sand and look at your country(if your american) a massive hole created ny bankers knowing if they throw some money to the senate(whom most like biden,mcain, goldman sachs paid them BIG TIME) to pass these crazy laws, dont you have something called a bill of rights, a constitution?? BANKS OWN AMERICA and the wolf in sheeps clothing?.......step forward OBAMA

[jimmythekiddd]

UVstudio, obviously your not an economist, neither am I however, I understand that the government has no money at all. The federal reserve is a private bank, that "loans" the government money. The interst rate refered to is the interest the government pays to the fed for the right to print more money. They give the government credit The money has to come from somewhere, it is impossible to print money out of thin air, without it "watering down" what is already there. (IE inflation)

[tragictravisty]

@UVStudio wrong you dunce - when the federal reserve lowers interest rates, it dumps securities into the market - ie increases the money supply. at the same time, it increase loans to banks which in turn loan that money - increasing the money supply

[punk2116]

This conversation is a classic online.

[ExoticGawdess]

Bernanke looks sleepy while Ron Paul speaks because being a Zionist mass murdering terrorist and financial thief is just too damn easy for Bernake who's schooled in orthodox Talmudic genocidal behavior.

[ExoticGawdess]

Zionists like Bernanke and Greenspan help to enrich fellow Zionist cabal members by rewarding them for their financial pyramid schemes. Zionists are all predators. They prey upon anyone who has money or property - not just Palestinians. They consider us all to be only worth stealing from. They wiped human beings from the face of the earth on 9/11 because their manual for criminal behavior, the Kabalah, tells them to drop WMD on humans the way the Jew Einstein did in WW2 & Zion did on 9/11.

[ExoticGawdess]

The Israeli Zionist bankers put the Mark of the Beat (Seal of Solomon, Star of David) on the dollar bill so that Revelations will be known as being true right now. The Mark of the Beast is on the dollar so that the Mark of the Beast will "touch every hand and you cannot buy without the Mark of the Beast on your hand." This is their inside joke. The insiders who did the 9/11 attacks also put hieroglyphs on the dollar of pyramids to announce their money pyramid scheme. They deceive.

[ExoticGawdess]

The world's economic crisis can be solved in a 1 Step Plan: take back our money from Israel that they've stolen while hiding behind the 9/11 attacks that Talmudic worshiping Zionist blame on a red herring in order to hide the crimes of Zionists who robbed us all and committed the 9/11 type attacks globally.

Revelations states that Lucifer controls all money from is throne in Israel. You see the Israeli bankers like Bernanke putting Mark of the Beast symbol on the dollar to fulfill Revelations.

[Hapathy]

Can someone explain why the elderly's buying power would be different from the rest of the public? Paul mentions because their money is tied up in CD's. I don't understand.

[myliverwurst]

if inflation (increase in money supply) equates to a devaluation of existing currency by 10% and the CD is only earning 4% then the return on the CD is actually -6%. Prices lag but will appear to "rise" but in reality the dollar lost 10% of its value and won't buy as much. It's called inflation tax and no one but RP talks about it

This is how the Govt. will make our Govt. debt issue go away, they'll inflate it away. It will hurt people very badly, it's a bad thing.

[Hapathy]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks a lot.

[DIJV79]

Abolish the federal reserve, put the U.S back on the gold standard, pull all U.S troops out of Iraq ! hahah Ron Paul will get assassinated before that happens.

[elasatlaculos]

It just goes to show you how moronic non Democrats are. They are ashamed of the GOP as well they should be, yet Paul ties them new lies, and they all want to suck his cock. Sorry assholes - he's just another rich old Texas billionaire whose only agenda is to make the rich richer. FUCK PAUL.

[cpb82mjb]

He is libertarian, if he is wealthy, it is because of his own efforts. He does not impose government on people as 99% of politicians do. He is looking out for us!!!

[chuska8383]

Your ignorance of economics, history, fiscal policy, and politics is disgusting elasatlaculos. Read a book.

[DataSerpent]

Ron Paul is not from Texas he is born and raised in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. he just works as a congressman for Texas since 1979. and if he is wealthy, it is because of his own efforts. he is a doctor too and a veteran of the U.S. Air force. he care for all individuals not just for the rich. try speaking to Bernake if you can I'm sure he will not give you the time or day.

[AriocKaichi]

fail to be a dis info agent more gg noob

[modulemodule]

Ron Paul for Monarchy! :P

[reddog714]

We need 100 Ron Pauls in congress.

[wjweigand]

make that 300

[UrSoMeanBoss]

@reddog714 thats a dictatorship!

a GOOD dictatorship mind you...

but still not good overall

RONPAUL 2012!!!

[Whateverworksism]

@reddog714 The solution to all problems in the world lol.

[relentlessprogress]

bernanke never answers paul's question which how can you fix inflation by printing more money...which is inflation.

[carter3fan]

you a fucking retard if anybody believes in the constitution its ron paul your the one thats brainwashed faggot read the facts you Democratic cocksucker

[TUKKER001]

lulz dude.

Illuminati pimp my ass.

[enmity666]

no he's not you idiot

[kng863]

there's a $2million dollar house across my street built next to suburban 1940 colonials. it's been sitting on the market for 8 months. I will be dead before that house gets sold or liquidated. Terrorists win!

[qigong1001]

Ron Paul thinks the "free market" will fix everything as if it were composed of a bunch of boy scouts who would do no harm. What is Pauls business experience anyway?

[lvildos]

DEMAND that the Federal Reserve explains where all the bailout money is going. Support HR1207 "Fed Reserve Transparency Act" Destroy the NWO, take back FREEDOM

watch?v=OC5uQx1W87I

[enmity666]

I agree with you brother, we need to take our country back.

[lvildos]

even better than transparency, overhaul the monetary system

[teebs70]

Federal Reserve = Mafia.

Inflation is an invisible hand that steals from common folk.

[JoeTube27]

Solution. 1. Gold Standard 2. Major Major Cuts in Government Spending. 3. Little to no income Tax.  4. No Corporate Tax. Credit Card Companies not allowed to go over 10%. More Domestic drilling, till clean energy is effective enough.

[chinathetown]

My ex gf cheated on me and i found out so haha i posted all of her adult vids on this profile! Z

[ogello]

idiot.

[atiennne]

i would like to know what(the people)closely involved with this situation have done with their money during this(politicians for instance).as well what have the people who will be in the most financial trouble done to keep themselves rich,and or immune,ceos for instance.i lost my home inspection bussiness 9 months ago.

[MrFrankBullitt]

Purchasing power is only hurt when you buy imports?!

Is oil an import?

Are higher rents an import?

Bernanke is lying.

[mightymaster8]

Benjamin "Shalom" Bernanke  of Course he's lying!

[enmity666]

Yeah, that's an absurd statement. Bernanke and all the minions of The Federal Reserve need to be brought to justice. Abolish the central banking system and bring the debt back to 0.

[MrFrankBullitt]

The sad thing is, he wrote the Macroeconomics textbook I used in college.

[pedalbin]

Greenspan and Bernanke should be tried, hung and quartered for the most disgusting financial debacle in history. I wish they would have listened to Ron Paul earlier, but instead he was seen as a threat therefore pushed to one side. Disgusting what has happened, disgusting ...

[ragnarok1086]

It's not the Federal Reserve so much that is being blamed, it's the flawed idea which they are operating under that Dr. Paul is attacking. If you want to understand, start by reading the 20th century economists that Dr. Paul is talking about.

[lvildos]

zoticus1...first, you don't make a point with exclmation marks(!). Assuming there really is an invisible barrier, why is it hard to cross? wouldn't this hard to cross condition make the presumed barrier perceptible at the least?

Answer- yes, it is perceptible. Yes, it is anchored in the central banks(FED) as well as it's IRS interest collection agency

No exclamation marks here.

[AriocKaichi]

like i said, lie again = banned, keep it up buddy

[zoticus1]

At least Paul talks about the issues on the market but he places too much blame on the FED.The issues are not primarily from the FED but the shifting of a country that produces to one which consumes!DUH!!Now that the genie which is called free trade(slave labor) how does a domestic producer compete?The "free" market has an invisible barrier that is hard to cross and the working class( Majority) are fucked. Bad monetary policy is an effect of trying to synthetically balance the market!!

[lvildos]

suffocation1516...this is plain and simple for you. Even if Ron Paul brings the abolishment of the "FED" and the IRS, he will be the happy inheritor of the never ending job of lowering the taxation on the general public with his mental model of what represents a "low" interest rate. He says many more things in this video but you now have the core, this issue separates the waters in what he stands for. Don't be fooled by the inflections of his voice

[suffocation1516]

Will do!

[lvildos]

100daysinthesun...The (temporary) lowering of interest rates is the bait, it does not reflect the real value system so Ron has it wrong either by ignorance, usual in the Fmasonry structure/system or in complicity which is also usual in this structure

[lonewolf1369]

Ron already says that central bank interest rates are not a real value system because they are artificial and aren't chosen by the market

[lvildos]

both whites and black agree on their skin color. What they don't agree with is who should be the slave and so, RonPaul has it wrong when he says interest rates are too low

[lonewolf1369]

what? Ron Paul already knows that low interest rates are not the real value system because they're artificially controlled by the Fed. You said this exact thing 2 comments ago. He's saying interest rates are too low because that's what causes the inflation and the bubble and malinvestment

[lvildos]

lonewolf1369...the economist inflation/IntRate dogma reminds me of a film of medieval times where a sick woman was bled to regain her health yet she progressively grew pale like a fresh corpse.

Nothing more than Diocletian's Problem-Reaction-Solution administrative paradigm is being put to work here. If it smells and tastes like chicken, it is chicken.

Worst of all, Ron Paul is the make believe rebel prescribing the bad medicine

[lonewolf1369]

the Federal Reserve banks work on a fractional-reserve system, as with the rest of the banks. As a result, low interest rates make the problem worse because it becomes easier to inflate the currency with "credit" without being solvent, leading to malinvestment and the devaluing of the dollar, especially with the funding of already insolvent institutions, IE Bear Sterns

[orson1492]

Of the "tyranny" spoken of in the declaration of independence, one of the foremost was the Crown's refusal to allow the colonies to operate their own currency, and, therefore making them beholden to the central bank of England. Central Banking was and is contrary to the ideals of our country and our founding fathers. It's existence is simply the result of manipulation by banking moguls in the early 20th century. If you don't believe me, just ask Thomas Jefferson.

[lvildos]

suffocation1516...it's a staged , pre-edited drama

[suffocation1516]

either way, Ron Owns! WE DONT NEED THE FED OR THE IRS

[AriocKaichi]

ill have you banned from you tube if you lie one more time, keep it up pal

[suffocation1516]

I bet everytime Ron Paul speaks to Bernanke, he just gets fucking nervous. Ron Paul always owns him. lol. Ron Paul!!!!!!!!!!!

[gearzone2611]

:19 Heheheh

[lvildos]

57girl..price fixing of interest rates at 1% is better than price fixing of average wage to 1 cent, it is called having a value system. The problem is the turning point in the value system where interest rates were made to increase and there you have the consequence. The (temporary) lowering of interest rates is the bait, it does not reflect the real value system so Ron has it wrong either by ignorance, usual in the Fmasonry structure/system or in complicity which is also usual in this structure

[apocalyptichybrid3]

Go back to economics class!

[57girl]

Note how Ron Paul is the ONLY CANDIDATE that is actually talking about the issues that are crippling America. He is also the only candidate willing to talk about the NAU. People should consider who's side they want to be on if America is to be salvaged.

[lvildos]

dan020350...I wouldn't think the founders of the USA were infallible men but if you compare to current circumstances, they were spot on in their writing of the USA constitution. Have you got anything against the USA constitution?

[dan020350]

I am asking if you don't honor your parents that is the forefathers of America, can he do good? the universal or general concept not specific circumstance.

[dan020350]

can one do good if he goes against the forefathers? If not everything that comes out will always be evil

[lvildos]

do you mean to act relentlessly against your forefathers under every circumstance ?

[lvildos]

jubachoomba...not sure what you mean by last 15 seconds. About the oil, it is not too bad it is imported, it is just a fact but this dependency you have not built in the last 15 seconds. It is an acquired dependency over decades, what do you intend to do about it?

[jubachoomba]

regarding the last 15 seconds... too bad oil is an imported good

[lvildos]

Ron, there is three values you can identify: the value of labor(whatever it's nature), the value of goods, the value of money. Attributing high value to a currency does not guarantee high value of labor. A double action from the monetary and fiscal systems are required to achieve both high labor value and employment stability. You are right, the "FED" and the IRS as they both have been unconstitutionally established can proclaim the antithesis achievement to these goals

[lvildos]

garyowen4ever...Bernanke is not sweating Ron Paul's words on interest rates hike. This exhibition of Ron's makes him the useful patsy or the associate in collusion yet some people think he is heading the "Ron Paul Revolution". I expected better from Ron in this playing field

[garyowen4ever]

LIL bennie is thinking,,,,,I'd rather be trampled by Ru Paul than questioned by Ron Paul?

[lvildos]

price fixing of interest rates at 1% is better than price fixing of average wage to 1 cent, it is called having a value system. The problem is the turning point in the value system where interest rates were made to increase and there you have the consequence. You can properly call it "creating the stampede" Ron, the (temporary) lowering of interest rates is the bait, it does not reflect the real value system

[Melantro]

How many people actually go to VoteSmart? How many people research the issues voted upon? Any voter who does not go to, at the very least an informational site like Votesmart, is an unpatriotic moron that trusts not the government, not the people---but a biased media portraying particular images of each candidate, 3rd party or otherwise, with the ultimate goal in mind being marketability. America is going down in a flurry of Right-Wing nut-jobs and anti-anythingrepublican liberals. R.I.P USA

[nomadak47]

Yep!

[podunkest]

If you take what Ron Paul is saying in this video and file it under "crazy conspiracy theories" you are completely uneducated, uninformed, ignorant and know nothing about the history of the United States. Get a clue. This is real shit people. Take some time away from TV *AND THE INTERNET* and read a fucking book some time.

[1tonykirk]

Check out (Google:) "Esoteric Agenda".

It's a fast forward from the very beginning to today.

Very well done.

Peace.

[EggbertSizzlepan]

Ron paul is like another Jefferson! It's amazing.

[hpcnov]

Go Ron! At least someone understands what Americans are going through right now. Or at least not pretending to play dumb. I think if Ron was elected president there would be a massive change in this country...for the better.

[meape]

"Congress mandate????" Under the freedom of information act I want to see that!!!  "CPI and no one in this country believes that anyway" You tell it Dr. Paul.

[soliloqy]

JFK was about reducing the interest rate to promote long term growth in this country... all raising the interest rate does is limit the access to the amount of money which can be borrowed... How else are low income Americans, who save up 10k, and want to open a small business supposed to? sell drugs??? he is right about the federal reserve having an endless checkbook and devaluing our currency...

[APB187]

"americans are mis guided and brainwashed you all really think there's terrorist everywhere and that flying is un safe"

There are now misguided homebread terrorists and no one can afford to fly..

"Conspiracies? Do some basic research on fiat currency and fractional reserve banking (i.e. usury) which relies on issuing paper money, it is a FACT... the Federal Reserve is a SCAM."

The people of the fed make thier money by collaberating with credit companies to stiffel hardworking americans

[ymh67]

couldnt he run as an independent

[xskillsx101x]

This country isn't very democratic. Third parties have no chance of winning.

[infotechsailor]

maybe he could have won if he wore a sticker on his forehead that said 'CHANGE' while he sang on american idol

[ShorinKan]

Ron Paul for President all the way! He's the ONLY candidate that's truly on the side of the American public, NOT the American government. There's a lot of people in the world who have become embittered towards us (and mostly for logical reasons), it's time to kill the fascism that has developed in our government, and restore American integrity.

The people don't want anymore war, and we don't need to be policing the world. Let's not become another Roman Empire.

PEACE, LOVE & UNDERSTANDING.

[Napkins75]

If Sen. Ron Paul and Sen. Chuck Hagel ran on the same ticket I'd nut all over my computer screen.

[PeoplesGeneral]

Napkins75, Ron Paul is a Congressmanm, not Senator...

[xXToneLocXx]

that's why us good folk here in Nebraska continue to elect him..

By the way, Ron Paul is a Congressman, not a Senator

[eman8111]

bernanke is completely bullshitting.... he knows he is cought screwing the economy over. i hope that one day all these basterds who are ruining america go to jail or get put on death row or something.. cuz these people are ruining so many ppls lives and they diserve to be punished for there actions against the american ppl....

[OmboBombo]

People should VOTE for Ron Paul...We need a great leader and he is one of those rare individuals willing to tell the truth. There will never be another chance better take it now.....

[moonthesun]

AMEN I meet so many nutjobs..... (I was once one too! Till I heard the RP Truth!) ... who "support" Ron Paul by saying Hell ya you like ron paull.... and NOT voting for them.. because random bullshit answers.

[briguypa1]

Look people, no matter what the media and the talking heads say, this country cannot support artificially high home prices in an effort to keep the borrowing consumer economy rolling. It is A BUBBLE! and gov't cannot solve the problem. Risky borrowers are going to wipe out one way or the other. Hurting our currency by lowering interest rates only hurts the responsible people who save. Ron Paul is the f*cking MAN!

[maria175]

Is Zionist Bernanke going to lose his job in November?

[NyloStar]

Do we really have to revert to Jew conspiracies here? Seriously. It's that kind of attitude that hurts Ron Paul. Even if the guy is a Zionist, RP said himself it's not his fault. This has been going on for years. He's a symptom, not the disease.

[eman8111]

but none the less he is still part of the desease even if he is a symptom. he still needs to be iradicated.. bernanke that fucking dooshbag

[npchairman]

Conspiracies? Do some basic research on fiat currency and fractional reserve banking (i.e. usury) which relies on issuing paper money, it is a FACT... the Federal Reserve is a SCAM.

Read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" (a second look at the Federal Reserve). The financial destruction of the middle-class and America is the goal. Weimar Germany all over.

[DutchessMaria]

Ron Paul's quote...is on the back of that book!

[moonthesun]

the enlightened consciousness is doing her best

[bebop54]

whoever doesn't vote for ron paul is a moron !!

[Livingfishguy]

"it will only make imported goods more expensive"

he just admitted Ron Paul was right

[NyloStar]

Yeah, that had to be one of the dumbest answers I've ever heard. You'd think that because the current trend was outsourcing that that'd be the LAST thing he said. Not to mention he neglected saved fortunes of the dollar. He proved RP right twice with one sentence.

[mikyj905]

americans are mis guided and brainwashed you all really think there's terrorist everywhere and that flying is un safe

[Bushiey]

.............

[alexrobes]

yeah ALL of us. you a little confused.

what does that have to do with this video anyway?

[NyloStar]

And you really think you're making the world a better place by hating the United States?  You're just as shallow as your statement.

[FreakAlert2008]

I love watching these vids, too. Ron Paul is just a national asset to the people of USA - too bad they don't realize it.

I am curious, has there ever been a non-jew as a chairman of the Fed?

[mikyj905]

do something then... dont just watch ...you americans are dooming us all

[RawpowerGroudon]

I told you we should've never trusted the Jews. I'm not nazi racist or like that, but did you know that a Jew only cares about money? It's a fact. If you don't think about the Jews, all you really left with is making a living out of yourself.

[choloman05]

I love these videos! Thanks for posting.

[choloman05]

I love these videos. Thanks for posting!

[gigie555]

Ron Paul understands economics better than any candidate. But the "Powers That Be" won't have him in office because they fear losing their grip on power. The sheep will be brainwashed to support the mainstream "accepted" candidates. And down the tube goes the economy.

[Zhuangyao]

I love Ron Paul!!!!

[SAg00n]

too much politics :(

[talktal]

ben bernanke actually said that with a straight face? either he's delusional or schizophrenic.

[Tiberius2027]

Ron Paul 2008! Show your support and get involved in your local Meetup group.

meetup. com

[thetimman00]

You go Ron.
