Anyone got the Grayson clip?
Thomas Jefferson once said, "The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground."
Well, I guess he called that one.

Main Street Media's take on the session
Bernanke says Fed can take on supercop role
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Tuesday fended off congressional skepticism about expanding the Fed's duties to police big financial companies given the central bank's failure to catch problems that led to the financial crisis.

they make him sound like a hero.
I must exist in a alternate reality.
12:41 central time, Is it over yet??
??
So Whats The Deal
Bernanke says after 5 years they can be audited. Does this mean after 5 years GAO can audit all monetary decisions?
I just called Grayson's office
I told the staffer to thank him for his line of questions and added how impressed I have been with him lately.
I also threw in that I'm not a Democrat, but myself and others around the country admire his efforts.
I hope some will get this posted
on YT or some where sooonnnn!

Ben looked ill
Damn no chest pain.....

Rep. Bill Posey...
Just grilled him nicely.

Tarp Money
Ben said that they have no idea how much money has been paid back?Huh?????
Is this some kind of joke?
I hate then they open with
I hate then they open with 'thank you mr chairman to be here'. Sheetz, they don't need to thank him for anything. He's suppose to be there when he's called on since the fed is a creature of congress, a deceitful at at that.

Welcome to the Dog & Pony show coming to you from the hill.
Rep Garrett just nailed Ben on unemployment projections
The actual unemployment numbers are higher than the FED scaremonger projection under a no bailout scenario.
Ben is rattled, his voice is wavering...
...forget my comment.
...forget my comment. Misread.
Garrett revealed that Ben's projections were worthless
Showing the "actual" unemployment with the bailout to be higher than the Fed's projections under a no bailout scenario basically refuted the rationale for the bailout and undermined the Fed's credibility.
Exposed the Fed as a scaremonger
Rattled like a deer in the headlights....
Use it to call on them to bring HR 1207 to a vote in the House...Lets go!

"We make a very healthy profit which we then share with the treasury" - Bernanke
Is it just me or is this statement extremely troubling in the sense that not ONE congressman followed up on this statement to ask him what he meant!?!??
Is this guy pulling backroom deals with the treasury, and profiting off our financial meltdown in secret ?
Well...that is troubling
that no one followed up on that!!!
and lol!!! I will correct your last from a question to a statement...
This guy is pulling backroom deals with the treasury, and profiting off our financial meltdown in secret.

"I think we are living in a world of lies: lies that don't even know they are lies, because they are the children and grandchildren of lies." ~ Chris Floyd
He said PROFIT....And he shares the profit with the treasury...
That's code-speak for "we pull backroom deals" at the american taxpayer's expense......This is insane! I thought that money, most of it was meant for the economy.
It turns out only a % goes there?!? The rest goes to his buddies in the treasury like Geithner & Paulson, for doing a heckuva job, that is nuts - these guys are committing flat out fraud!!
Bernankie's facial expression
Did you see the huge breath he took after he realized RP's time was up? His facial expression said, "Holy shit that sucked, thank god it's over."
Why isn't the question asked
how much profit is the federal reserve making off the taxpayer?
Ron Paul needs to ask them....
Nail these bloodsuckers on it. It's a fact they're doing a swindle.
I felt like I was watching Keynes vs Mises...
Of course, Mises logically wins.
