ya... I don't think Cenk is really the right person to talk about this?

Ben Bernanke is in charge of the Fed when the global economy supposedly "collapsed" in Sept 2008. Now, there are only two choices. Either Bernanke was too stupid to see it coming..........or...., Bernanke saw it coming and had no idea what to do to stop it or slow it down. Either way he is incompetent. Or, third choice, the entire "collapse" was manufactured. None of these qualifies him for "Man of the Year". What a joke.

So you;re telling Bernake that  you can't trace half a trillion dollars when you loan it oversees?

"cant buy up shit" hahaha google cadburys take over by kraft. Its one of the leading business story's of the month that says otherwise. Did you know we have something called PLCs and a stock market?

[CmdrTobs]

I understand your sentiment, I say for the nth time I AGREE with it. Inflation of money is just another way to screw other poor and compound the asset based wealth of the rich, BUT you need to do some more reading in VERY general economics go out and make sure the next book you read is just a standard university text on Economics/monetary economics etc....

[CmdrTobs]

Wrong, I believe you are talking about a literal fixed gold pegged currency. If not gold itself. Again that does not work. You get massive deflation.

The birth rate in the US is what 3%? That means every year there is 3% LESS money/person to go around. Who on earth would take a loan?

I don't even have to factor in the expansion of goods and services to show that a currency won't escape inflation. Unless your stupid enough to use an actual precious metal for currency like its the 1300s.
