Yes, greedy bankers. Can't follow your logic there. So everybody is just a poor sap, taken advantage of by greedy mortgage providers. If we're all just stupid fools that can't think for ourselves, then none of this even matters because we're toast anyway. I don't care if any person doesn't like Palin. I'm hardly her biggest fan. But I don't personally attack her and accuse her of having empty space between her ears. Hate you? Can't, don't know you. Just like you don't know Palin. You like being able to express your opinion, yet you don't think Palin should express hers. That's why I say holier than thou. You like to judge but don't like it reversed. I say leave the country because the evil, greedy corporations you so despise played a huge role in building this country. They're not leaving. If you can't co-exist, you might have to go elsewhere. I won't convince you as you won't convince me. I'll still say it anyway. Rather than attacking Palin, why don't you look at the history of the Fed. The dollar appreciated 8% in the years prior to 1913. Since then, dropped over 90% depending on whose number you use. They've failed at full employment. They've failed at market stability, rather they have created the boom/bust cycles. You stated yourself that inflation is natural so the Fed can't meet that mandate either. Why do you have such faith? You think it's great that the Board of Governors acts with impunity? Greedy bankers with no accountability? Only beholden to their private shareholders that profit at our expense? End the Fed today and we'll take a giant stride toward fiscal responsibility. I'm not a Republican. Don't like Bush, didn't vote for him. Your wasting your time thinking I'm defending his appointment of Bernanke. I believe in personal responsibility. I don't believe in the victim mentality. I believe in the land of opportunity, not the land of dependency. I only support candidates that strictly adhere to the Constitution. I believe in liberty and private property rights as of the utmost importance. Bernanke and the Fed and most in government are stealing it. I believe we had all better get our priorities straight quickly and not waste time worrying about Sarah Palin. You don't like greedy bankers, yet you support Bernanke and the Fed who are? Yes, greedy bankers. Can't follow your logic there.

When someone disagrees with you, you tell them to leave? to move to a third world country? This is my country, and I am a born and raised patriot, why don't you leave? You don't think what banks did to Americans is evil, why don't you ask all the people who have had to foreclose because they were duped into a mortgage on an overpriced house they could never afford? And please don't make the excuse of people have the power of choice, because as clearly demonstrated by this blog common sense is scarce and not everyone has it. I don't hate Palin, in fact respect her first amendment rights to make a fool out of herself, something she continues to do with regularity. However it is painfully obvious she is an opportunist who has no real agenda other than dividing the nation and make a buck for herself. Doesn't Palin regurgitate talking points? If she had an independent thought of her own hell would freeze over. Sorry, but God did not tell her to run for office. I don't subscribe to Coulter who says you can't be a believer and not be Republican. If she and Plain were a true believers they would use her celebrity to unite the country. However opinions are like sphincters... Prices will always rise, despite what theCL and the greatest economists think. The great thing is that Palin and any other politician has no ability to influence what the Board of Governors will do. Palin should stick to cookie comments and because her goal is not to help the country. she is out there to help herself and continue the polarization. Instead of arguing who is right and wrong our government should be putting resolutions into law. If Bernanke is such a quack then why did Bush appoint him? Don't hate me because I'm capable of critical thinking and developing my own opinions. I am not a Democrat, but I believe in Progress, I am not a Republican but surprise, I advocate fiscal responsibility. I am an American, and I don't care for Sarah Palin.

You don't see the prices increasing? Do you only rely on the c.p.i.? Look at the futures prices. You already know where commodities are going to go from QE2. Bernanke has stated he's OK with inflation at 4-6% for a short time. You really think he's capable of picking the right time this time and know when to withdraw? One only needs to study the Fed's track record to know what the odds are of that. BTW-don't you shop? You don't see the prices increasing? Do you only rely on the c.p.i.? Look at the futures prices.

So, if counterfeiting is so good for the economy, why is it illegal? We should all quit or jobs, get good printers, and print our way to riches beyond our wildest dreams. Bernanke is a quack. In this case, Palin's opinion is backed by the greatest economists of the past 100+ years, Mises, Rothbard, and Hayek. And food prices are rising: http://the-classic-liberal.com/food-cost-rising/ The Fed buys that debt with magic money it creates out of thin air. in other words, via counterfeiting.

You are just another liberal Palin hater who spends their days regurgitating talking points. It's old and tired for a candidate from 2 years ago. I'd suggest you move on to a fresh target. Why would I refute the Fed buying debt? I only said they aren't mandated to do so. When you make your smart-ass comments about googling the Fed, do your own research first. You need to watch your step if you wish to play holier-than-thou and impress us with your ability to navigate the internet. You don't like greedy banks? Evil corporations? Move to a third-world country and you won't have to deal with it. Bottom line is simple. Bernanke missed the whole recession by mis-reading his magic box of indicators. Your OK with giving him an A for effort. I say we can't afford anymore learn as you go mistakes. Well, you have certainly shown your hand, now haven't you?
