    What do you say to all of the PhDs

    What do you care? You've clearly have no respect for education and are sorely lacking one yourself. How many times have you bragged to us about how you squandered your educational opportunity? You're dumb as a stump and ignorant as an ass.

    You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

    Let me make this very clear, I never squandered my education. I got my Diploma, got a job, and started buying books and really buckled down to get educated, and I still do that today. Getting an education is easy, paying for it is not. I pay for what I can, and I get more out of it than a multi-thousand dollar lecture in a crowed room.

      So I suppose you are the definitive authority on economics? There is certainly no shortage of real PhD Economists that say we are headed towards hyperinflation.

      If you knew anything about economics, you would know that that there is no "definitive authority". The suggested alternative scenario is one of many being argued over by "real PhD Economists", including deflation, inflation, and hyperinflation. BTW Isn't Bernanke a "real PhD Economist"? A Professor, even?

        Ben Bernake knows economics well I'm sure, that is why he is the Federal Reserve chairman. He MUST tell people that everything is fine to avoid scrutiny. The last thing he wants is for people to realize that the Federal Reserve is the root of the problem and a very powerful and corrupt institution causing great harm to the economy.

          Well, that is where thinking for yourself comes into play. People should think about it, do a little research, and look at whats going on in the country. It really isn't that hard to figure out, but people don't WANT to figure it out, or even hear about it for that matter.

          So you had it figured out, ahead of all those "real PhD Economists" (only 11 of whom predicted the crisis in detail)? Do you not think those whose livelihood depended on their predictions WANTED to think about it. And still got caught out.

              My goal is not to insult or upset him. It's to show him for what he is. That will stop anyone with half a brain from being sucked into his drivel, and if he's not completely brain dead he may wake up with time, also.

                Be careful. If you start discussing the Fed with anyone here, whoever it is, odds are they will show your ignorance again, just like we did last time. I just spent an hour talking to people in the back room. To go from that intelligent discussion ( much of which I disagreed with, but which was discussed with respect and intelligence ), to this, is depressing. I need coffee.

                    We are not discussing theory here, we are discussing reality. You have proven your ignorance with statements along the lines of "What a load of ignorance BS! Its because you are capitalist, socialism is what you want" The thing is though, socialism is based on the same principle: being a slave to the ones who spend your money for you.

                        Come on, you need to make up your mind. First you say we've got to listen to all these PhD economists, and now you're saying we need to do our own research. Which is exactly what I said in the first place!

                                  Being a top rate economist is a necessary, but not sufficient, attribute of the Federal Reserve chairman.

                                  And he's certainly got that covered. Wow! Good thing this "real PhD Economist" is such a mastermind, or he would have had Congress baying for an audit of the Federal Reserve.

                                    We are not discussing theory here, we are discussing reality. You have proven your ignorance with statements along the lines of "What a load of ignorance BS! Its because you are capitalist, socialism is what you want" The thing is though, socialism is based on the same principle: being a slave to the ones who spend your money for you.

                                      What I found funny was that the video was created by a commodities broker dealing in Gold and Silver, and a couple of Penny Share scammers.
