Well, I'll just get on the blower and call ol' Ben up and ask him... how about that? This is kind of silly, isn't it....

Instead of going down this rabbit hole, how about you offer someone that you believe has been more instrumental in creating the imminently fair, wholly egalitarian economic situation we endure today.

I'll say one thing for Benny, and his star pupil, Geithner -- they have re-defined what the term "good soldier" means. No Nazi storm trooper ever pursued his mission of just "following orders" with greater zeal or greater persistence than these two in their tireless quest to do what is good for their "insider" faction.

From the very beginning, with these creatures, it's been "My international economic hegemony -- right or wrong!" They've mangled and shattered free-market capitalism to the point of criminality. Everyone who had anything to do with permitting this corrupt assumption of some businesses being "too big to fail" -- and lavishing hundreds of billions of dollars to rescue them -- should be rounded up and shot! Ooops! Now I'm beginning to sound like a storm trooper, too. It's interesting how one foul, corrupt development gives birth to others, and who knows where it's all going to end up...?

However it goes, it won't end up in "collapse", for this would be disagreeable to the international economic hegemony, and for that reason alone, it simply would not be tolerated....

Yes, but I supposed from your last post you had some reason to imply he made an income far greater than the $190k he's paid.

As you apparently have nothing to support you're contention, we can just chalk it up to another BS baseless assertion, and move on.

Why should I do that?
Any basis for this claim, or just another baseless BS "down the rabbit hole" assertion?

"creatures"? no bias on your part, eh?

But, but, Rush and Sean and Glen and Mark said Obama would cause ruin, and to buy gold (from their sponsors). They couldn't be wrong!

OK, Iriemon, you don't want to play anymore, so we'll end it here. Neither you nor I can "prove" what Bernanke or any of the rest of the insiders make; this notwithstanding, I very comfortably assume it's a lot more than the piddling amounts they reveal to the bovine public. And good for them! Unlike the Obama loyalists, I'm all in favor of a person making as much money as they can, so long as it's a level playing field for all of us. Unfortunately, running the money printing presses to stoke the bailouts for those who were "to big to fail" kind of made a shambles out of that, didn't it...? Odd that intelligent as you surely are, you are never willing to comment on this aspect of things.

Anyway, as we wind this down, please do be advised that neither Rush, nor Sean, Glen, nor Mark could convince me to become a "gold bug" today. It's all because I believe very much more in the actions of Obergruppenführer Bernanke and Obersturmbannführer Geithner, who have certainly convinced me that they will not tolerate a rise in either the price of gold, or of interest rates on savings accounts, to realistic levels. Given the amount of worthless currency there is now, thanks to Benny, perhaps gold should be at least $2K per ounce, and maybe interest rates offered on CD's should be north of 12%, but it doesn't fit into Benny's "grand plan" for his banker buddies, so, it ain't gonna happen.... Benny and Geithner and the other creatures (sic) are way more interested in getting everybody to get aboard the gigantic fraud balloon and make investments in the stock market instead, and, for the rest of this year, I may do exactly that....

So, until we meet again, Iriemon -- Auf Wiedersehen!

I've commented on it for pages and pages.

I'm not quite sure how you figure that the Fed will prevent gold prices from rising by making the currency worthless, but OK.

In the meantime, I'll ride the fraud balloon.
