Watch As Ben Bernanke Answers Your Twitter Questions Live
Today at 4pm Eastern, Ben Bernanke, at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy, will take live questions from Twitter for the first time as part of the Fed's new policy of openness. Of course, the policy won't be so open for him to answer if banks are actually using reserves as prop trading funding (as was the case with JP Morgan, and any other bank which realizes that when it comes to fungible cash, money is just 1s and 0s in a server somewhere). However, the filter may slip and at least one or two good questions may slip through. So please take this opportunity to submit any pressing questions you may have on the Fed's policy to pump the market to new stratospheric highs courtesy of $85 billion (for now) in monthly reserve injections into the Primary Dealers, by using the #fordschoolbernanke tag to your questions. For convenience, we have appended a twitter module below that captures all tweets with that querry.

Well yea my point exactly!
Ben is gonna shake the scene just like Timmy once he figures out that he can no longer suppress volatility. To think you can bag chaos and put it in a box in the corner for as long as you see fit is rather arrogant and pompous.
'Changes to interest rates wouldn't really effect anything'.....WOW you really DO think we're all fuckin retards! Raise the rate to just 1% I DARE you!
Yes fuckwad you never saw any crisis approaching, so much for your foresight.
AH yea, but as he's describing now he's done a lot of campus theoretical studies and looked into the Great Depression and whatnot. Real world, track record not too great though.
Hey, I didn't see the housing bubble, so I don't know why people still listen to me, but they do.
Now I'm smoking 85 billion cigarettes a month, but hey, there is no cancer. Do you see cancer? There is no cancer I say, so I don't agree with your premise. And, if I do get cancer, i'm sure I can stop it in like 2 seconds. I have tools I tell you and my models tell me they will be effective.
What time will Bernanke begin his juggling act skit?
Mr. B.
A legendary investor once said, "I Create nothing, I own".
Can you guess the name?
Mr Chairsatan, can you give us an example of when you've ever been right? *cue crickets chirping*
Gun grabbers are the black swan after 12 years of shitting on the Constitution and "unconventional" monetary policy. How does your monetary policy stop a civil war?
Mr. Bernanke -- How does Jamie manage to hide your puppet strings and keep your nose from growing?
Bernanke sleeps with his dog. Please Mr. Banzai7 do a picture of that!
I think he was referring to his wife..

Or maybe the dog is Lloyd Blankfein.
not the dam coin
The academic Chairman of virtue:
People commended unto Zarathustra a wise man, as one who could discourse well about sleep and virtue: greatly was he honoured and rewarded for it, and all the youths sat before his chair. To him went Zarathustra, and sat among the youths before his chair. And thus spake the wise man:
Respect and modesty in presence of sleep! That is the first thing! And to go out of the way of all who sleep badly and keep awake at night!
Modest is even the thief in presence of sleep: he always stealeth softly through the night. Immodest, however, is the night-watchman; immodestly he carrieth his horn.
No small art is it to sleep: it is necessary for that purpose to keep awake all day.
Ten times a day must thou overcome thyself: that causeth wholesome weariness, and is poppy to the soul.
Ten times must thou reconcile again with thyself; for overcoming is bitterness, and badly sleep the unreconciled.
Ten truths must thou find during the day; otherwise wilt thou seek truth during the night, and thy soul will have been hungry.
Ten times must thou laugh during the day, and be cheerful; otherwise thy stomach, the father of affliction, will disturb thee in the night.
Few people know it, but one must have all the virtues in order to sleep well. Shall I bear false witness? Shall I commit adultery?
Shall I covet my neighbour's maidservant? All that would ill accord with good sleep.
And even if one have all the virtues, there is still one thing needful: to send the virtues themselves to sleep at the right time.
That they may not quarrel with one another, the good females! And about thee, thou unhappy one!
Peace with God and thy neighbour: so desireth good sleep. And peace also with thy neighbour's devil! Otherwise it will haunt thee in the night.
Honour to the government, and obedience, and also to the crooked government! So desireth good sleep. How can I help it, if power liketh to walk on crooked legs?
He who leadeth his sheep to the greenest pasture, shall always be for me the best shepherd: so doth it accord with good sleep.
Many honours I want not, nor great treasures: they excite the spleen. But it is bad sleeping without a good name and a little treasure.
A small company is more welcome to me than a bad one: but they must come and go at the right time. So doth it accord with good sleep.
Well, also, do the poor in spirit please me: they promote sleep. Blessed are they, especially if one always give in to them.
Thus passeth the day unto the virtuous. When night cometh, then take I good care not to summon sleep. It disliketh to be summoned—sleep, the lord of the virtues!
But I think of what I have done and thought during the day. Thus ruminating, patient as a cow, I ask myself: What were thy ten overcomings?
And what were the ten reconciliations, and the ten truths, and the ten laughters with which my heart enjoyed itself?
Thus pondering, and cradled by forty thoughts, it overtaketh me all at once—sleep, the unsummoned, the lord of the virtues.
Sleep tappeth on mine eye, and it turneth heavy. Sleep toucheth my mouth, and it remaineth open.
Verily, on soft soles doth it come to me, the dearest of thieves, and stealeth from me my thoughts: stupid do I then stand, like this academic chair.
But not much longer do I then stand: I already lie.—
When Zarathustra heard the wise man thus speak, he laughed in his heart: for thereby had a light dawned upon him. And thus spake he to his heart:
A fool seemeth this wise man with his forty thoughts: but I believe he knoweth well how to sleep.
Happy even is he who liveth near this wise man! Such sleep is contagious—even through a thick wall it is contagious.
A magic resideth even in his academic chair. And not in vain did the youths sit before the preacher of virtue.
His wisdom is to keep awake in order to sleep well. And verily, if life had no sense, and had I to choose nonsense, this would be the desirablest nonsense for me also.
Now know I well what people sought formerly above all else when they sought teachers of virtue. Good sleep they sought for themselves, and poppy-head virtues to promote it!
To all those belauded sages of the academic chairs, wisdom was sleep without dreams: they knew no higher significance of life.
Even at present, to be sure, there are some like this preacher of virtue, and not always so honourable: but their time is past. And not much longer do they stand: there they already lie.
Blessed are those drowsy ones: for they shall soon nod to sleep.—
Thus spake Zarathustra.
Zarathustra was intended for apolitical purposes. Rather he was meant to turn past idols on their heads. I suppose a neo-nietszchian like yourself can use Zarathustra to bring about the end of Keynesianism but remember that Zarathustra is laughed at throughout the book, and when you share your ideas outside of your circle, you too will be laughed at. But remember, what is loveable in man is that he is a crossing over and a going under :)
The best Bernank can really say is 'We think we're headed in the right direction....we'll wait and see in a few years'?
No way can I survive a few more years of this ongoing insanity.
I heard alot of "hopes". Im to the point where i dont think he "thinks"
Yo Dr. E nice question
They'll never do this again.
You see the Fed itself interrupting, asking, "What's the difference between fiscal and monetary policy?"
Blew right up in their smug faces.
:D
Does this moron like to get abused on a national level ?
edit
The solution is not to stop paying the credit card bill?! Of course he would say that, he's on the creditors' side. Default is the last thing he wants, because then they get zilch and their wealth harvesting operation goes belly up.
Do you think willfully debasing the US currency with the outcome being the loss of our reserve currency status would be worthy of treason?
Betsey Stevenson @BetseyStevenson
Bernanke argues that the role of monetary policy in asset bubbles is not clear & we need to be open minded #fordsc
#like a virgin at a gang rape
sorry, no have twitters
Hey Mr B the roithschld sock-puppet, are you on drugs too?

What about auditing the FED? 'Well, we've been around a long time and gotten away with it so far'.
And that asshole just sat there and said it would be bad for Congress to be able to investigate his monetary policies.
Sorry Chairsatan, that's actually a very specific enumerated responsibility of the Congress in the Constitution. In other words, THAT'S THEIR JOB you megalomaniacal fuckface.
It was "their job" to PREVENT the Fed from EVER EXISTING.
That was 100 years ago.
This whole fucking crime syndicate is based in MYTHOLOGY! (and bribery,coersion and murder)
P.S. Great ball busting on "The Twitter", redpill.
"I read blogs." -Bernanke
Read between the lines, folks.
in that case ... rot in hell Bernanke.
Hi Ben! there's a scene from Scarface I'd like you "to the google"
imagine you are Ben Shalom Rabenga
Bernank's posture, and confidence, reminds me of Bernie Madoff....
its a tribal posture
you gotta love the quaver, it says "i know my power" and "holy fuck they know it's me who's "responsible"" all at the same time...
guilty conscience like a motherfucker. no matter how many fools fall for the grandstanding, if he was anything but a propogandist it would be known.
fun though, to watch people buying his lines. pompous shits.
Clap monkeys, CLAP !!!!!!!
Pretty much just useless down-talking banter....best part by far was all the Tweets.
"To... uh... communicate... uhm... discuss... uh... so.. uh..." Jesus, this guy is barely able to frame a coherent sentence.
That feed was fuckin' awful.
He'll be straight on ZH when he get's online to see what we think of him. FUCKWIT.
blogs aww uhm, they, see, uhm, well, like news papers, they ahh uuhm, they printed what, see, ahh uhm, what, um, happened, so blawgs see, uhm, they, they, they, they, are an important, uhm, palce, see, for discource, uhm.. see, aaahh.. well,
Limerick King:
Open Mouth Operations = Fellatio
Ha ha ha!
notice only two responsible upright people were allowed to filter relay audience questions...
which means they were afraid of some really nasty comments
People only get away with something because they can. Complaining about Bernanke will not change anything.
How do you sleep at nite? Can a person really not have a conscience?
You are going to turn into a rock and be blind, in the dark and in pain for eternity for what you have done and continue to do to humanity. Are you really ok with that?
Fess up- Alpo For Grannie?

Video recap of today's Bernanke Q&A:

At risk of repeating myself : Economic collapse is our last line of defense for a future free from Federal Fascism!
Ah... now the chair is gone... and I see only this black screen... oh and something with Ford? What's this all about?
All you gotta do is not fuck up, doctor B.
