Bernanke Hearing on now

[SWATH]

Schumer just applauded Bernanke and the Fed for their "aggressive and appropriate actions by cutting rates". Schumer is a snake.

They just said, that "due to limited time with bernake" only select people will be able to read their opening statement. You could see Dr. Paul was not happy about that.

[Joey Wahoo]

Is RP there for the hearing, or is he still in NH?

Sorry, no time for the guy who wants to point out rampant inflation! Only time for the guy who is in the pocket of the bankers and who will cheer Bernanke!

This is an outrage!

[drain]

he gets no opening statement but will be allowed to question after bernanke talks.

Yeah, what about the precious time of someone who is RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?

I bet Ron could have been campaigning, but instead he's waiting around to 'try' to get a chance to ask the chairman of the fed about serious problems with this nation's monetary policy. And they're going to try to silence him?

This is insane.

I might lose it right now, if I hadn't already done so a few weeks ago. :D

[starless]

Brownback on now. Sounding retarded as usual.

[MS0453]

If Ron doesn't get an opening statement, I'll probably put my head through my monitor. "Ranking Member" Brownback is speaking right now..that sorta speaks for itself.,.

[kylejack]

Brownback on now. Sounding retarded as usual.

I wonder if he'll take this opportunity to endorse McCain again.

[MS0453]

I wonder if he'll take this opportunity to endorse McCain again.

Nope,..just sounding like a moron as usual, like Starless said.

"Gee golly, Mr. Chairman, I'm glad you're the chairman and not me! HA HA HA!"

[recess]

brownback need another rate cut for christmas shoppers

[kylejack]

brownback need another rate cut for christmas shoppers

Did he actually ask for that?

[kimosabi]

I'd love to see some cops barge in and Taze these Criminals...

[starless]

Did he actually ask for that?

Yes.

[RP08]

Ah. Here we go... "Global economy"

[maxmerkel]

he looks like a schoolboy who did something bad.

[Daveforliberty]

Alan Greenspan has said obfuscation was his "forte." Bernanke has taken a while, but seems to be mastering it as well. Greenspan must be a proud papa.

bwahahahaha:D

[avix123]

RP on now

[SWATH]

Ron is on the attack!

[FrankRep]

Go Ron Paul! He's on now!

[SWATH]

DAMN! He shut Bernanke up pretty quick. All he could do was look stupid and scratch his nose.

[PC4RP]

would anyone like to address what ben said about money supply not going up? As I understand it, there are many other countries that dish out money at a much faster rate than the US does, but arent under the constant threat of inflation. Sure, we are printing more money than we should, however, there are many other factors that go into play when dealing with inflation....

[Daveforliberty]

Bernanke's tone is, "Hey, I just work here. You guys (Congress) told us what to do and we're doing it." When confronted with the failed policy, he offers absolutely no answer. Silence. Nada. When asked for advice, he passes it right back to them, "Well, you should introduce legislation to help the housing market, etc."

I have to say that I like Alan Greenspan, and for all of his obfuscation, he was an infiltrator who decided to sneak in to the establishment and do the best he could to hold it together. His interviews now make it clear that he still favors a commodity-backed currency.

[freelance]

Sanchez says she's somewhat jumping on RP bandwagon (paraphrase)?

[MsDoodahs]

lol, she wants some revolution love.

;)

Wow, I like her.

Damn. I missed this. Is it online anywhere yet?

Ron Paul has done just that with his bills to abolish the Fed, heh heh.

You sure he was holding it together? Seems to me that he put the FED between a rock and a hard place. They really haven't options left but to cut the size of government or let the economy collapse. I'd like to think he infiltrated and did this on purpose.
