  • No, not gag. We have fiscal issues, not monetary issues, that need to be resolved by politicians. We can't have a situation where the damage of squabbling politicians is 'solved' by throwing money at banks by the CB's

  • I think the "gag" was with regard to the reality of who our politicians are.

  • Well, Bernanke did what he was expected to do and I have forever lost all Respect for Diane Swonk after her crying that the republicans should not be voicing concern over the fed's possible QE talk today.
    Hey Diane, just when did it become wrong to voice concern with Bernanke's dollar debasement and destruction of the working mans / woman's standard of living with all this so called intervention?

    Diane, you should climb out of your ivory tower sometime and go shopping after you loose a job and have no income coming in.
    There are real lives being destroyed by reckless comments and ideology like yours and Ben Bernanke's!

    Thanks go out to the three "MEN" on the fomc who have strong spines and moral character!
    Thank you for watching over those who need someone to speak for them.

    Obedience to God is rebellion to tyrants
