Ron Paul Teaches Economics to Ben Bernanke
Submitted by sunny on Thu, 07/23/2009 - 08:22
Please take the time today to tell at least one friend about Dr. Paul, his message, why you support him, and why our country needs him now more than ever. This is a grassroots campaign. We are the grass and we are the roots. The other candidates may have more money, but Dr. Paul has something that no amount of money can buy: He has us. He has our trust, our belief, our support and our love. Let us not let Dr. Paul, nor our country down.

Why is the government in so much debt!
Bernanke needs a lesson in economics. Most people would agree that the fed has no idea how to manage their money. After this whole financial debacle, does the government even have debt consolidation plans?

If they try to limit him or cut him off, it only makes people realize he must be saying something important.

YEAH!!!!
Ron Paul f**ckin rocks. I wish I would have seen this kind of passion a little more during the campaign. This man is a total hero of the people. I think he finally realizes we got his back and isn't afraid to scrape off a little more of the sugar coating.
AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE

Anyone know why RP said "Oh

Pork BarreL....
There is often a lot of talk from politicians about pork spending, especially Republicans (though it's usually for not spending on what they want – but it isn't like Democrats aren't the same way) but it has hit a new low, with Clougherty Packing LLC. Clougherty Packing LLC is a meat packing company that prepares processed ham products, and they got just a shade over $5 million in stimulus money – that's some pork barrel spending, literally! That's some big unsecured loans for ham. Obama had pledged to fight earmarks and other wasteful spending, but it seems he's gone completely the other way. Unemployment is still rising, and lots of people could use payday loans – but Clougherty Packing LLC gets funding.
Ron Paul should have become
Ron Paul should have become President, but the GOP dropped the ball and supported the wrong candidate. Well, I suppose everyone here already knows that...
This is a great speech by Dr. Paul. He is confident and factual
. He has stated many times his supporters are the ones responsible for getting the Fed issue mainstream and in the house. Dr. Paul obviously feeds off us as much as we feed off him and he is getting stronger. Imagine what this man could accomplish if the entire country was behind him.
I suspect the tone is
I suspect the tone is because they gave him less time than he had written to use and it backfired: In trying to speak clearly and quickly, while ticked off by being squeezed, Ron came off as a firebrand.
And bravo!
(I'd bet he either gets his full time next time or they try to cut him off completely.)

To a Crowd of Deaf Ears
It would have been tasty to have heard Bernanke's rebuttal.
Still, Ron Paul, is calling for fiscal sanity and nobody is buying it.
Why is that? CFR? Made Guys? The Mafia? Stupidity?
All of the above, I think.
...
wow... i cant wait till his End the Fed book comes out!!! many pages of him thrashing them like this!
formerly known as trembo slice
I want him to say:
"I've been studying economics longer than YOU have !"
oh, snap
Can't have more logic than the weak kneed banker thieves....
That's not allowed on the Hill. They arrest people for that.
can't argue with a 72 year old Man either
no matter WHAT ... you lose
;)
Either that...
....Or they just like getting their asses handed to them. Ron Paul has been there longer than most of those Bankers have been alive for starters.
Bravo, Dr. Paul!
Well written and well said! As always, Dr. Paul is astute and succinct and honest!
However, I think it's safe to say that Bernanke, Frank, Pelosi, any member of Goldman Sachs, Obama, whoever else fills a suit in this house-of-cards/facade-of-a-government (save for a very select few); they ALL know what Dr. Paul is saying is TRUE. They know it NOW, and they've known it. That's why the whole agenda pushes in the OPPOSITE direction! Ben Bernanke doesn't need that information. Billions of other people DO! Ben already knows how to hamstring the middle-class and eliminate it. He fronts the cartel that is doing it! He's the schmuck that got chosen to sit in the chair! The ones that OWN THE THING are nowhere to be found. They have the purse-strings and always have! Short of a total global collapse, they always will. If we can teach, learn and pass along the RIGHT THING TO DO, that Dr. Paul has spoken of here, and carry it forward to our children and other people in other countries as well, it might collapse sooner. Keep in mind, the "collapse" does not affect the working/middle class. It affects the wealthy elite that own it. Unfortunately, it has not happened thus far in history. Not sure it's in the cards now.
bailout money OWNERSHIP
from Tom LaMar: Is not one of the most fundamental questions yet to be dealt with...the ownership of fiat money? Just because a bank prints it doesn't mean that it should be able to claim it as it's own and then "lend" it to our government, adding to that portion of the national debt, of which the Fed is owed about 1/2, right? Not only that, but the interest we now pay (fees too?) on the Fed "debt", which is so much that we can't hammer away at the principal (or correct term) to actually get it back to a "manageable debt" that the bankers usually speak of. Interestingly,
one of the few times in our nation's history that we were not only balancing the budget, but were debt free was under Pres. Jackson, champion of the common man, a great read !
Tom LaMar
I agree 100%.....
Their ownership IS "an illusion!" No arguement here! However, if 9/10's of the world thinks the illusion is a reality, then I would be inclined to think the other 1/10th hasn't much choice but to at least go along with it. From my perspective; gold, silver and "precious metals" are about as necessary in life as used toilet paper! Why they hold value universally, over centuries, is beyond me. That resource-based society mentioned in Zeitgeist makes sense, but then the resources will only get hoarded.

Augusten Burrows........
Running with Scissors is a popular memoir published by Augusten Burrows, about his experiences growing up. Running with Scissors details his being adopted by his mother's therapist, and the author's experiences growing up in Dr. Turcotte's home, some of which is patently disturbing. A film was made about the book. The response by the family of Dr. Turcotte was not pleasant – they sued him, and Burrows just received a favorable judgment in the lawsuit – for legal costs and changing the word "memoir" in the book to "book" as the family contends it contains fabrications about them and their lives. Still, with the numbers of copies sold of Running with Scissors, Burrows won't need an online payday loan.
That was so good
I'm inspired.
deflation...
i am not sure who to believe anymore...
On July 21st, 2009 Paul Revere says:
we had a credit bubble that added trillions of dollars to the money supply...
it is bursting...
the fed cannot 'print' fast enough to counter the deleveraging that is now occurring...
i am not sure how dr. paul can overlook this and claim that we have inflation...
inflation will occur, but only after the long deleveraging process of deflating the bursting bubble....
michael-- dont you agree with me?
There is a lot of old cash around
When rising interest rates prevent the Fed from selling its IOU's (monetizing debt), the Treasury will turn to printing, which is really done by the Fed. Then inflation will then become noticeable. Latest issue $20 bills is 2006. Bernake quoted low M1 and M2 as a reason why inflation is not now a problem. Old dollars are sloshing around all over the world. The new bills will be a spark when people notice their availability.

It's been a while since I posted!!
You argument makes sense on the surface in a 1 + 1 = 2 environment. Unfortunately when you have a long period of government intervention and artificially favorable borrowing environments you have a little change in the effects.
Actually, to clarify, it is not as much the era of loose lending policy and artificial interest rates, it is the era of government intervention AFTER this unsustainable process has finally fallen apart at the seams.
What you have right now is trillions of dollars in bad bad investments and loans that have been added to the money supply over the past decades. If free market forces were allowed to occur (from this point, as obviously if they were allowed before we wouldn't have this situation!), these malinvestments would be liquidated and reduced to their realistic value, reducing the available money supply by the difference between the book value and the market value.
Currently the Fed is basically stop-gapping the difference for the banks by plugging a bunch of new money into the space between "book" value and REAL value. Also, mark-to-market has been eliminated (notice no major write-downs since that point - as if those instruments have been gaining value since then!!!) so for accounting purposes and money purposes that aspect of the money supply has not shrunk.
Add in the fact that most of the "deflation" occuring is in paper asset values (i.e. equity values in homes). If the equity was already used that money exists as cash within the system and the liability side of the balance sheet is held by the homeowner and ultimately the bank (when they default). To top it off the government has expanded its budget monumentally which is directly inflationary as governments spend and spend and spend injecting those new dollars directly into the economy to be passed around with all currently existing dollars.
There is small deflation right now but it's like a garden hose has been spraying at a fire hydrant for a while and the fireman are just turning the nut at the top so it can spray back.
When someone like Jim Rogers says they have NO SHORTS despite how rotten so many companies are, it should give you some pause....

My man tells it like it is! Wow RONNY P is courageous.
my friends and i drink beer at the pool on weekends and talk politics and I have sold so many of them to not being a party hack and looking at the man for what he stands for. lots of people are waking up. Just emailed this link to about 40 peep's. The awesome thing is that everything he said would happen is happening and getting worse. The other thing is teachers are even starting to look at Ron Paul, because they are losing their jobs in record numbers while under Democratic Majorities in Fed and State gov'ts. Keep it coming Mr PAUL you are awesome!
IT IS NOT A WASTED VOTE!
Doctor Paul needs to....
....Hire a whole enclave of security guards, if he wants to stay from getting shot and I'm serious.
The Fed mafia won't hesitate to take this guy out now that he has become a de-facto leader of the Revolution.....
Stay secure! It is time to bring the Wizard of Oz crashing down.....
His Safety...
I too worry for the good doctor's safety, but I trust Dr. Paul's decision to be a true Patriot for Liberty and stand up against the corupt money manipulators at this most important time in our nation's history.
If they were to remove Dr. Paul from this earth, I believe they know they'd be signing their own death warrants. They fear the commoners with their pitchforks as it is today. They'll gladly sit through the 2.5 minute schooling and leave thier surrogates in Congress to neuter any legislation of Dr. Paul's that may endanger their agenda.
He's as safe as a baby!
That man is safeer than any of us. He's protected by his peace and positivity. Divine and universal energy has him comfortably protected! The speech he gave to Bernanke was, to me, simply telling him what he already KNOWS to be true!
This "American System" is broken. It was built using broken tools. If it crashes, all the better. I would prefer to go forward with a newer positive perspective than "fight against" anything. Positive, forward flow brings that same thing. Violence breeds violence. Hate breeds hate. Peace can breed peace, and prosperity and kindness and forgiveness. Just look around and you'll see what rules this world.
Dr. Paul? Safer than the baby Jesus in the manger!
Beautifully said, opengee!
He speaks the truth in a way that does not condemn the man, but condemns the 'act' of harm. Dr. Paul is in earnest to have Bernake come clean for his own sake if not for the people's sake.
Historically, the chair of the Fed has never had to answer to such 'impertinent' congress people in almost 100 years. They are not accustomed to such 'grilling'.
Perhaps we shall one day soon witness Mr.Bernake 'implode' from the intense pressure of being publicly exposed and the encroaching bill HR 1207 becoming a 'reality'. There has to be a 'breaking' point somewhere along the line.

That still doesn't change the fact it was a crime
And someone......Aka the Rothschilds & company, need to go to prison for this monstrous crime on the people of the country!!!!

I quite agree with you there. However, the day that happens
will be the day the whole house of cards falls. The audit should reveal names and contact info of those who 'own' this monster. They will be the ones we apprehend. The biggest world gangsters making mafia look like guppies. These are who we needed to apprehend. They 'inherited' this pyramid scheme since 1913! Each current 'owner' were groomed for controlling the world-wide syndicate that I am certain is neatly compartmentalized so the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
The recent grilling is very very important for the congressional record. It will all be presented as evidence once the sh*t hits the fan.

....Has been hardest to come by when it comes to this group of bankers, and that, should be what concerns America most of all
You are so right SimpleSam...
Ron Paul has continued to speak the truth, unfortunately those in power may have another agenda, but we all know that, don't we....
Dr.Paul has plenty of backing
.
I sure hope you are right...
I know HR1207 has quite a few co-sponsors, but we must put pressure on that nasty Barney Frank, and that Biotch Pelosi to support it as well.
We need to bring HR1207 up for a vote period...
And I do believe, the universe is conspiring to help him!

Lay'n it down . . . what it is.
What they're doing is not good for the world or living things and creatures.
Dr. Paul has a well earned subdued intensity. Very confident. I felt he spoke from a position of power. I want to grow very old, so that I may tell a young one, that I knew Ron Paul, and fought with him.
