I have been watching Julius' videos and have concluded that it is imperative that we forward them all on tens of thousands of cheap Chinese DVDs, preferably with big bulky plastic cases, to Ben Bernanke and Tim Geithner at their home addresses ASAP.

Any volunteers?

If we go blu-ray, we can further stimulate the Chinese... sorry, I mean "American" economy!

Bernanke is such a fucking pussey.  A bankster's whore.  On his knees, doing only what he knows how to do.

A man with balls wouldn't sell America down the river for the Bankster's like Lloyd his Harvard Winthrop Housemate.

A man with balls wouldn't sell America down the river for Congressional whores.

A man with balls would say: "We're fucking bankrupt.  We need to revalue the dollar and come out fighting."

Bernanke is a fucking evil pussey who bashed "hapless policy makers" of the Great Depression for what he is today, a "hapless policy maker".  For today, unemployment is 22.8 percent, then it was 25 percent and government workers were counted as, drum roll please.....UN FUCKING EMPLOYED bitchez!  We have 47 million on electronic breadlines.  We have tent cities.

From Bernanke the shitehead's "book" (which sucked ass):

A relevant, illustrative example: “I guess I am a Great Depression buff, the way some people are Civil War buffs. I don’t know why there aren’t more Depression buffs. The Depression was an incredibly dramatic episode-an era of stock market crashes, bread lines, bank runs, and wild currency speculation, with the storm clouds of war gathering ominously in the background all the while. Fascinating, and often tragic, characters abound during this period, from hapless policy makers trying to make sense of events for which their experience had not prepared them to ordinary people coping heroically with the effects of the economic catastrophe.” (emphasis mine)"

We're fucking broke, any hapless idiot can see that, we have $16 trillion in Social Security debt, $16 trillion in national debt, $84 trillion in Medicare debt, $21 trillion in Prescription Drug Debt.  On a yearly basis we're a basket case.  Any fucking "hapless policy maker" should know broke when they see it.
