The Hypocrite Of The Day Award Goes To...
While we largely enjoy Dallas Fed's Dick Fisher hawkish, non-conformist thinking at the FOMC, and his willingness to come up with amusing cartoon names to explain the Fed's monetary policy (we are currently on Toy Story, and specifically Buzz "To Infinity and Beyond" Lighyear), we certainly do not miss when even said faux Fed bad cops telegraph hypocrisy so gruesome it shows demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt just how fake the facade of the Fed's "contrarians" truly is. To wit:
- FISHER SAYS U.S. LAWMAKERS HAVE BECOME `PARASITIC WASTRELS'
Riddle us this, Dick: just who is it that enables the US Lawmakers to fund trillion dollar deficits year after year at less than prohibitive terms, and more importantly, who is it that since 2009 has monetized virtually all 10 Year and longer gross issuance, thereby allow Congress to be a parasitic wastrel. Would you call that someone a "Wastrel enabler"?
Do you know who that someone is, Dick? Or is the question too complicated for a mere PhD mortal to answer?

Fuck you Fisher!
Fisher is another fiat pimp. What he says means nothing.
Adolf Hitler declines Karl Rove's Friend Request. "He is a total loser," Hitler is thought to have said to secretary.
Moar Kabuki Theater. Anyone thinking anything is "unscripted" on Panem et Circensus Vision is still on Blue Pills.
Dick Fisher should mount his bayonet and lead the mutiny or have a slice of STFUcake.
Just bring in Yellen & let it ALL implode more quickly. Bernanke is certifiably insane and/or corrupt, but Yellen, if taken at her opinions' face value, is to monetary policy theory what Gary Busey is to classical philosophy.
I think that Monsters, Inc. would be more fitting.

People with name Dick turns out to be one.

well his name is dickfisher
Fishing for dicks indeed.
Pissing off the transom of your (or preferably someone else's) yacht whilst under sail used to be called 'trolling for queers'.
So in retrospect I guess we were all 'Dick Fishers' back then.

He started on this about 2 months ago. Interview on bloombergTV. called them children.
The fed, the executive/treasury, and the legislature are the 3 stooges. In every episode:
The above comment is one of the best I have read here for a very long time.
flag as awesome (1)
I learned from the best. yourself included :) With that out of the way, back to fight club.
The Fed could end the recklessness of Congress immediately in two easy steps.
1) End QE3
2) Raise interest rates.
Boom. Two things the Fed can do all on their own, right now. So, until you do that, Dick, shut your fucking mouth.
Dick Fisher...what a dick fisher

CNBS casually discussing QE4......QE4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, cos its like Star Wars 7
QE4 is to current monetary policy what Bernanke's bathtub is to the Pacific Ocean, and anyone who acts upon mention of CNBC's mention of QE4 could undoubtably find a way to drown in a bathtub.
it's fascinating to watch well groomed people in suits and ties engage in complete delusional discourse so casually.
Was Dr. Robert Stadler on the panel?
#gratuitousAtlasShruggedref
Ties will do that to a guy. As for the ladies...
well, if I knew that, I'd be a rich man.
Stocks are moving down - so what else can they do but hope that IQ's have dropped sharply since QE3 failed and that muppets will BTFD.
Where the hell is Kevin when you need him?
Fisher, you have 3 fingers pointing at ya, same goes to your boss, when you point your index at others, Including The Bird..
May I respectfully suggest that Hannity and Limbaugh also receive that award
both are talking up Ron Paul's farewell speech
When Hannity talks up Ron Paul is cos the whore has been paid to.
Please RP supporters..please come back....your our only hope!
two fucks that couldnt hold up rons jock strap.
Hold it no...but no doubt they'd be sniffing it.
Dick Fish then falls back on "balancing full employment with price stability".
Goddamnit Kevin! You'd better keep the dji above 12,500 or you'll be working for jeffries next week.
Looks like Kevin's busy playing on Facebook. When do those shares unlock, again?

I know Tyler has one of these suits in his closet!!!
Banks are parasites. We need to move beyond them.
When the glove, uh, name fits...DICK!
"Would you call that someone a "Wastrel enabler"? "
I think simply just a big "DICK" would do.
Way to demonstrate your command of 19th century slang, Dick. Wastrel, jeesh, the last time I heard that, Andrew Jackson was dressing-down the Whigs....

You owe me a Ferragamo tie. Just chuckled my martini on this one.
:-)
Right on script. Poke the politicians. Make them do something drastic so they can be held to blame for what happens next. Or demonstrate that inaction causes the same thing. Checkmate. Plenty of blame to go around. Right?
WHEEEE!!!!
Parasitic Wastrel Enabler is a bit awkward, let us just call them The Fed.
Dickfisher....kind of says it all. With little or no comment....
That's definitely hypocritical.
But it's also extremely undiplomatic, even by Washington DC standards.
Perhaps Massa Banksta is getting bit antsy because of the uppity Congress Critters failure to "get to work".

"Is DICK IN"?
Fisher, et al, continue to pretend that the fiat money system they created was not a fraud to begin with. i say call his bluff - go ahead and quit intervening in the markets, stop bailing out the banks, and just let the entire economy collapse as decades of debt cotracts are repudiated in bankrupcy court.
with central banking you get - growth, growth, growth, growth, growth, total collapse. again and again. without exception. to pretend otherwise is something between intellectual dishonesty and criminal deceit.
the collpase is here and there is no way to avoid it. things will continue to grow collapse-ier over the next 20-30 years. just look at japan. soon enough japan will implode in hyperinflation and we'll then know what out long-term hopes and dreams amount to.
I feel a disturbance in the force.
So, I conclude Fisher is also a wastrel though I think he deserves a few descriptive adjectives to spiff it up a bit.
I think he means the lawmakers fit definition 2 from Merriam-Wesbter: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wastrel
He could clearly fit the first defintion if not also the second.
Yes - I had to look it up.
With Dems back in control of the Senate and WH, time for Fisher to act up until 2016, or at least until he's replaced.
This is why I read ZH! You get it Tyler, thanks.
Yes, it's always the drug suppliers fault. Never the junkie. Congress is charged with regulating the money supply. Period. Americans are charged with putting people in Congress who can do the job, not provide them with Utopia. This is what happens when you offshore your money supply, and allow jackboot thugs to disenfranchise your legal system. Americans were asleep in prosperity, while it happened, and are now trying to point the finger at everyone else because the grease is drying up and they are starting to feel the pain of the rectal probe they have been getting all along. Sorry, while I hate the Fed, they are not hypocrites they are parasites. Americans not guarding the Constitution during the prosperous times, as well as, the dark days are the hypocrites. And that includes me. I use to blame my ignorance, and my parents, but then I grew up and started to educate myself on the matter. I can guarantee you my kids will not be the same for it.
Thank you Dr. Paul!
"Americans are charged with putting people in Congress who can do the job, not provide them with Utopia."
Hey, when did that happen? ;-)
Well my grandmothers, grandfather, on his fathers sisters side, once said he heard from his barbers wifes, cousin that at one time right after the dinosaurs died out... wait the answer is 42...? right?
<----- Fed mouthpiece blaming lawmakers for wanting deficit financing
<----- Lawmakers preaching fiscal responsibility while enabling the Fed's operations
Who is the worst hypocrite?
I thought they ment the fisher electric car company with all those federal subsidies :P
I am so hawkish on using the bathroom, its not even funny.
I would be careful. Lawmakers can end it the same way they started it. It's just a simple majority vote.
First step in the process to eliminate the Congress. Watch the Exucutive Branch and the Fourth Estate (MSM) use this as a way to Fundamentally Transform" our government.
Put another way, who is the odd man out in this list:
The President
The Mainstream Press
The U.S. Congress
The Federal Reserve
Fisher is just posturing to become the Head of the new Sovereign Republic of Texas' central bank.
Jeez, Richard Fisher has been going "rogue" the last few months ever since his holdings came out (agriculture, gold..which, generally, hedges against money printing and econ collapse) and Dylan Ratigan published in his book what he found about what Fisher said in FOMC minutes (he thought that the the US' problem wasn't that we imported too much crap from China, but that the US wasn't importing ENOUGH crap from China).
You know who are the real parasites of the system? The Federal Reserve, who has enabled Corporate Fraud, Malfeasance, and Plunder, at the expense of 70% of us, for the last 90 years.
Here is a joke...
What do Obama, Bin Laden, and Benanke have in common?
Answer:
They all want to destroy Amerika's freedoms.
Congress became parasitic wastrels many decades ago. That was headline material in the 1920's.
Nearly a hundred years later, the Fed Dude in TX thinks he just discovered it.
Keystone Cops cheap theater.
