"I think they're really touching a nerve," Sen. Bernie Sanders said Tuesday of protests on Wall Street that have inspired demonstrations from Burlington, Vt., to Los Angeles. "The nerve is that the average American understands that as a result of the greed and the recklessness and the illegal behavior on Wall Street, these guys plunged us into the horrendous recession that we're in right now." Even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke allowed that there was "excessive risk taking" by Wall Street when Sanders questioned him on Tuesday about the root causes of the recession and the concerns voiced by protesters. "They blame, with some justification, the financial sector with getting us into this mess," Bernanke told another member of the Joint Economic Committee. "I can't blame them," he added.

  • Hello America. In Finland we all have free health care, unemployment benefits and education. And some Americans say that Finland is a communist country. Well, if it's true, I'm a communist and proud of it!!

  • Don't be fooled by this psychopathic liar Bernanke.He knows full well that the people of the world are systematically being financially raped and ultimately enslaved by the bankers! He pretends that he is understanding and only the fools that don't know what's going on fall for his phony compassion.This man is one of your primary enemies and for those of u who don't know that shame on you!Maybe u should pay more attention to the world u live in instead of watching TV and playing with your toys!
