Ben Bernacke - burning up the printing presses

Thank God, we can still buy oil to make sure the printing presses are running. They must be smoking as we see the value of our dollars go up in smoke. Let's see. President George W. Bush, for whom I voted twice - once okay, the second time to my shame as we needed GRIDLOCK some kind of bad - has run up a 4 trillion dollar debt and has managed to run up more foreign debt that ALL of our previous administrations did with all of their years combined. Good gawd a'mighty! And in just two weeks, the government has nationalized Wall Street; bought up the housing industry - it is nearly impossible for folks even with GOOD credit to get a mortgage unless they have 20 to 25% cash down for a modest home; and even managed to buy up a percentage of the banking industry. And now, not knowing the difference between "government handouts" and SOCIALISM = SLAVERY, a percentage of Americans are getting ready to vote for a partial-term, first-term Senator with dubious background including the mysterious "birth certificate." Do you know for certain if Barry is an American citizen? Can you give us all a link to a valid American birth certificate for Barry O? I'm voting for my Conservative, Republican Congressman; for local conservatives; and for Sarah Palin - we need a pitbull with lipstick... And on Obama's dubious friendships, stay tuned! One more word on Bernacke - a few years back he said something to the effect that America didn't have to worry about depressions, recessions, etc. 'cause we have printing presses. Somebody tell me why Hank Paulson and Ben are still employed and not sweeping out a 6 by 9 cell? Along with Barney, Chris, and Chuckie... Remember, the Democrats are responsible - lock, stock, and barrel - for the financial "crisis" we face and they created beginning with Jimmy Carter's Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 and the modifications Clinton made in the 1990s.

    Bernacke made the most ridiculous statement of the year, something to the tune of "we may need another economic stimulus package to save our economy" and I wonder where the hell does the money come from?

    Why, printing presses, of course!

    Yet I used to talk about getting our dollar back on the gold standard...there isn't enough gold bullion in the world that could compensate for the trillions upon trillions of dollars now in circulation.
