Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Wednesday that the embattled housing market has crippled the economy, and at-risk homeowners need a bailout – even if they knew they couldn’t afford their home in the first place.
“Some borrowers presumably knew what they were getting into,” Bernanke said before the House Financial Services Committee. “But from a public policy point of view, the large amount of foreclosures are detrimental not just to the borrower and lender but to the broader system.”
This idiot obviously doesn’t care what the American people want, nor does he care that public opinion is against him. Ultimately this kind of attitude will led to a revolt against banks and the collapse of our banking system. Rasmussen Reports says that Fifty-five percent (55%) of American adults say the federal government would be rewarding bad behavior by providing mortgage subsidies to financially troubled homeowners. Way to go Bernanke; what a way to restore confidence in our economy!

While Bernanke attempts to explain the reasons for the economic meltdown, he fails to mention how much of the blame goes to the Federal Reserve and their easy money policies under Greenspan. Working productive Americans are bailing out the financial establishment that destroyed our economy along with 45% of the wealth in the world and now the American taxpayers and our children will be forced to live a far lower standard of living with reduced prosperity and opportunities due to this but only we pay the price.
Washington has bailed out the banks, Wall Street & their Washington special interests and much of the cost is added to the national debt to by paid by this and future generations while real estate and investments continue to fall. We believe a growing repudiate the debt movement could actually save our wealth and the markets and suggest this is a better alternative than Washington’s plans to monetize the debt in future years and tax and destroy our remaining wealth by depreciating the dollar.
