QEeen Yellen's Senate Nomination Hearing - Live Webcast
Following our earlier preview, we expect the Q&A to have some potential fireworks as the politicians demand she "get to work" as soon as possible. If you are playing buzzword bingo at home - drink if she says "bubble", "depression", "data-dependent", "fiscal", or "screw you Schumer."

Does Tim Johnson have a handicap? He sure speaks poorly.
He had a stroke some years ago but keeps gettting re-upd, there are some stupid people in SD
The guy can't hardly spell his name anymore
Somebody give her a bucket to spit in.
LMFAO +1
Is it just me or does it sound like most of these people are a bit "slow" (as in down syndrome slow). Jesus the Senator can barely read the questions someone (@JPMorgan) prepared for him.
Perfect person for Obama to control
Federal Reserve of the Banks, by the Banks and for the Banks.
The rest of the country and its citizens be damned. The main aim of the political class and the central bankers around the world is to create one bubble after another for the zombie bankers to feed on. The majority of the population who actually work hard to earn their living by engaging in productive work have to pay the price by either loosing a majority of their earnings in the form of taxes, interest on loans or paying the bill for the bailouts.

A stroke victim and a cunt...the best we can do ?????
Asshole Mr. Johnson is a fucking idiot. Why can't either of these bafoons read or annunciate? Yellen sounds like she is recovering from a stroke.
Johnson reads at the level of a 4th grade inner city student... how the fuck do people like this actually hold a feckin job never mind a Senator..??
QEeen Yellen is a stroke.
at least we get new ways to use QE in a word. can we start an econ urban dictionary with as many QExxx as possible? at least it will pass the time until the QEnd.
Freudian slip...
Cost vs Benefits
Like most acedemians, she believes what she says. Unfortuantely, academia and government are still places where real consequences are seldom felt until it's too late. When you are born and raised in a world of unicorns, it shapes your reality no matter how far disconnected it is from the real world. And is why you should never allow these people to manage money or try and legislate morality.
They are going to have to go back to class with this bitch........she goes on and on and on.....that can't be part of the playbook
A least the Fed could have picked a better looking female Fed chairperson to screw the average american.
Bernanke can't get out of town fast enough before it all implodes.
She makes me want to puke on my TV or smash it with my fist
Is that Phil Donahue in drag??
someone needs to give her a good anal fisting
Is it a comedy or a freak show? I can't tell. Is it meat or cake? -- smell it.
I feel bad cursing at a lady...let's try this...
Gosh darn you Yellen!
nah...doesn't work.
These hearings should be good for gold's price.
While you are waiting for the Right Time to remove accomodative policy...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWo4oCk1gHM
I hate her voice so much. What accent is that?
Its down to a shortage of RAM. The buffer cant keep up so there's a problem with lip-synch. You would have thought with that size of printer they could have afforded a decent graphics card.
Clueless bank-speak accent.
Joolish.
Jewbacca
Do you think she actually believes any of those words coming out of her mouth? Further, do you think she believes that we believe the words coming out of her mouth?
There's something very strange about that woman. It reminds me of the virtual head generator from Total Recall where the answers bear no relation to the questions.
Die JEW BITCH!
"We think it's important to detect asset bubbles...I don't see evidence of asset price misalignments..." ROFLMAO
She has the tools!
you have fucking tools to control misalignments:
STOP QE I FUCKING DARE YOU
Who in the hell is she to determine what the appropriate price of any asset? An asset is worth whatever price a buyer and seller agrees it is worth.
Question for Yellen: How do you justify that stock markets are at all time highs while simultaneously we have all time highs in food stamp recipients, welfare assistance, poverty levels, unemployment and disability insurance?
Clown! Listen to the answers to what they learned versus, what they have done to change the system. Basel III is more money for the crooks!
SHOW US YOUR TITS!
She is showing a TwIT.
Catch that? She just got caught in a lie. When asked if the Fed was monetizing the debt, she said that they weren't and they were just trying to fulfill their mandate, but that normal monetary policy had run its course, so they had to resort to QE.
ie, QE is not normal monetary policy as they continue to claim.
The politicians are the eventual scapegoats. They are outgunned, outsmarted, etc. at every turn.
How the Fuck is Brown still a Senator in Ohio? HOW!? What a worthless socialist puke of government waste he is!
Her voice is annoying. It would work well as a slow moving donkey in a cartoon. Appropriate, eh?
marble mouth being questioned by columbo
Why does Woody Allen start every answer with 'So...'?
Will someone pass her inhaler - for fucks sake!
Confirmed. America is fucked...err and the world
Is she answering question or answering from a book !!! Stop looking down you fucking liar.
Can this bitch talk in circles or what?
Jesus Christ, she sounds like an automaton. Just a machine with pre-programmed answers. Her voice has no tonal quality whatsoever.
And this *thing* is going to 'lead' the nation's finances for the foreseeable future?
We're fucked!!
She sounds like some brain challenged kid from a long forgotten TV show, but I can't put my finger on which one.
Looking at her she reminds me of the Egghead Jr., but a modern day grown up LGBT sex change freak show version of him, you know the kid Foghorn Leghorn tries to teach in some of the Bugs Bunny cartoons.

I'm just here for the comments, as usual.
Good thing Francis Sawyer isn't here today....he would be suspended FOREVER
I try not to engage in hyperbole, but today we saw the final, grotesque form Keynesian thought has birthed - literally the woman who's going to blow up the world
I bet that 'thing' has grown together!
jar jar binks2 is she

She is wearing a gold barbaric relick.................
She is wearing a gold barbaric relick.................
Wow. She's an appropriate pick to go along with the successful Obamacare website (sarc).
Obama picks people more dumb than he is.
Dumb and dumber, Does she sound more intelligent when she gets drunk or more dense?
Ya think the Fed could have picked a better female for the job.
Maybe she's the right person to be told to set the financial titanic at ramming speed directly at the iceberg. A female captain Smith.
Umm, someone should revoke Grandma's license to drive the printing press. She's going to kill someone with her anal glaucoma! We're sooooo anally fucked!
She sounds like Paula Poundstone.
I came in late.
Did any of the Senators ask what else Yellen and the Fed can do to destroy the country and its citizens?
Might as well put Mao and Stalin in charge.
Things getting brighter in your neighborhood?
Good luck to everyone.
Larry Yellen knows all and sees all. I may as well also say it since no one else has yet...
FUCK YOU, LARRY "JANET" YELLEN!!!
This is What Happens When You F*** a Stranger In The A$$, Larry!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PztgWdMEJdg
Do you see what happens Larry???!!!
Did she just say they "the banks" need to be smaller and less systemic while she mentioned in the same breath "to make things tougher for them to compete?" HUH!?
"Moe" Yellen INFLATION, SLOWLY I TURNED, STEP BY STEP PRINTING TRILLIONS FOREVER QE TO INFINITY Can I hear a Weimar Republic?
http://youtu.be/FJfHnLHUhdA
she is reading her answers
amazing
also amazing is that she shakes her head as she answers in the affirmative
Slow like a turtle. Guess Obama needs a dense lady to increase spending.
"Chew on this"
Watch out, Mrs Debtfire may take it literately.
LOL! CFTC = phail!
I think she actually believes this shit.
Unlike Bernanke & Greenspan who knew better but was just dishonest and did TPTB's bidding and lied about the FED's goals.
But she looks like a retarded, dimwit, yoda lesbian and seems to actually believe the FED bullshit.
she actually sounds like a slow Abbey Joseph Cohen when she uses the royal "We"
NO, she's just lying with sincerity!
Boosting housing prices to help potential homeowners, taking homes away from others in the process. Fucking Brilliant!
Yellen reminds me of the little Goth Kid from South Park.

Ding ding ding!!!
this farleft fucking cunt is nothing more than a redschield parrot. Without the WRC status of the USD , this SFC couldnt get a job anywhere.
Wait a second...she just said QE helped stock prices. McKinsey gave us a 72 page report said that it didn't. I'm so confused.
Over the past nine years Americans have suffered an unprecedented onslaught of banker robbery; at bottom, Yellen’s testimony is that “we are not through yet.”
What evil unleashes these people to first take your money and your estates and then to suggest they are working responsibly in your behalf and “making progress” and need to take more.
The arrogance of these tyrants is beyond human endurance.
The NY Times had an article yesterday that JP Morgan paid a woman in China a regular payment but it turns out it wasn’t her real name. She was really the daughter of a top official in China – the prime minister. This is how bankers get their foot in the door of government and eventually take over. It’s called the Rothschild formula.
Here’s the lead from the NY Times:
To promote its standing in China, JPMorgan Chase turned to a seemingly obscure consulting firm run by a 32-year-old executive named Lily Chang.
Ms. Chang’s firm, which received a $75,000-a-month contract from JPMorgan, appeared to have only two employees. And on the surface, Ms. Chang lacked the influence and public name recognition needed to unlock business for the bank.
But what was known to JPMorgan executives in Hong Kong, and some executives at other major companies, was that “Lily Chang” was not her real name. It was an alias for Wen Ruchun, the only daughter of Wen Jiabao, who at the time was China’s prime minister, with oversight of the economy and its financial institutions.
JPMorgan’s link to Ms. Wen — which came during a time when the bank also invested in companies tied to the Wen family — has not been previously reported. Yet a review by The New York Times of confidential documents, Chinese public records and interviews with people briefed on the contract shows that the relationship pointed to a broader strategy for accumulating influence in China: Put the relatives of the nation’s ruling elite on the payroll.
And the Wen family’s sway was not just political. After Ms. Wen’s father joined the inner circle of China’s rulers as vice prime minister in 1998, the family amassed a secret fortune through a series of partnerships and investment vehicles, a 2012 investigation by The Times found. …

We have "Tools of supervision"? Oh God, they're just going to sit there and watch us die! That is "those who have survived the financial crisis". ie: those who have not eaten a bullet yet when they lost it all.
If you know anything about body language, then you like I, are amazing at how bad of lying she is. I think she may the one to take the hit of QE diminshing returns.
I missed the interview. Did she have her notes with her on how to answer all questions?
Sen Corker: " I would like thank you for giving the same answers here as in the office"
Wonder how many times she had to read the script to memorize it.
I would fall asleep listening to her. I can't wait until she trips up and makes stupid unscripted comments.
This is not Janet Yellen - It's Dr. Evil with a wig and "she's" out to destroy our world:......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqos3j07jzc
Yeah, $17-$22 trillion national debt is definitely a communications problem. I think I got the fucking message of what you are up to you cunts! Clear as a bell. Geez.
There are fundamental reason why rates are low? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS!?
YELLEN.....Sacrificing the unsophisticated 'CD Savers' at the throne of Leverage/Derivative based Western Capitalism!!!!!
WINNER WINNER.....PORK DINNER!
She is a horrible speaker. We are so fucked.
So is the only qualification for being the head of the Fed being jewish?
Mrs. Janet Yellen: "we can't have normal rates until we have a normal economy"... is she fucking mental?
#BTFR?.... Buy The Fragile Recovery
Caught that line too and wrote it down. Speaks volumes.
Yeah, the classic which came first, the chicken or the egg?
MY LOL moment was when I saw that CNBC actually had a poll out asking "Will Janet Yellen be confirmed as Fed chair?". Answer options were Yes / No / Don't Know. I would like to meet the people who vote No or Don't Know on that poll and ask them for all their money so that I can go buy some PM.
Idiotic voting question here:
http://live.cnbc.com/Event/Janet_Yellen_Confirmation_Hearing
BTW, u don't even have to believe in conspiracy theories... she sounds like a freaking MOB boss from New England, (or Brooklyn), good job Mrs. Yellen, U're a con-woman in charge! well done, u disgusting whore.
I don't know what's worse, Yellen's stuttering or that noxious Elizabeth Warren's nasal condescension.
I'm going to go with Yellen's stuttering as the worse of the two. She is pathetic. Wow... this is the future chairman of the Fed
I don't agree with Janet Yellen and think she underestimates the extent that Fed policies have caused multiple bubbles in recent decades. But, at least she comes across as meaning well, even if it turns out to be misguided.
BUT, Elizabeth Warren is the worst. To say that we wouldn't need QE if the banks hadn't screwed up the economy lets the government and Fed off the hook way too easily. Yes, the banks were a player, but Warren says they were the only bad guy and that just isn't true.
Wow. We are massively fucked. I heard her for about 37 seconds trying desperately to formulate an answer to a question in understandable English. We are fucked. She may very well be the George W Bush of Federal Reserve when it comes to clarity of thought and ability to speak, not to mention decision making capability.
stay save, stay in BITCOIN
new record highs
http://btcpost.net/
nope.. no discrimination in there..
So, Yellen says housing was a bubble in 2006, but going back to those same prices is no longer a bubble? If a home was $100k in 2000, and went to $$400k in 2006, then dropped to $200k in 2009, and now back to $400k, it is still overpriced. Prices fell because it was not an organic price. Many homes have risen 100% over the last 18 months. That is a massive bubble...
Dr Yellen. What a joke. Like Dr Detroit?
WHAT"S THE REAL NUMBER?! GOD DAMMIT WOMAN!
How can one person be disingenuous, naive and brain-dead all at the same time??? Doublethink?
And this lady Hietkamp asking what is the Fed doing to address income disparity... Everyone wants an hyperactive Fed I can see.
Did this lady just tell us that interest rates have to stay low because of the economy, so retired people looking for returns should just go get a part time job to supplement income?
Yup. Pretty much.
Elitist cunt.
Why didn't Lizzie Warren wear her Cherokee head dress?
Too much firewater last night?
She babbles in responses. Dense and turning senile.
I have to watch Cspan with the sound off and closed captioning on.
Meet the new boss.... https://twitter.com/EuroStability/status/401030658539003904/photo/1
Same as the old boss minus brain cells.
Countdown until Chuck tells her to "Get to work!"
PS: I hope the first noose is for him.
PPS: Off topic, but has anyone else noticed the physical resemblence between Anthony Weiner and Quagmire from the show Family Guy?
i don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Care to join Barney Frank near Uranus?
Take heart, jomama. Americans are not going to accept this frontal assault on their beloved country from the tyrants and the communists. It’s that piece of metal that some carry in their pockets, some carry in their cars, and some have at home. It’s called a weapon.
Tom Gresham on his Gun Talk program June 16, 2013, estimates there are 100 million Americans with guns.
And “according to the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey – the leading source of international public information about firearms – the U.S. has the best-armed civilian population in the world, with an estimated 270 million total guns. That’s an average of 89 firearms for every 100 residents — far ahead of Yemen, which comes in second with about 55 firearms for every 100 people, or Switzerland, which is third with 46 guns for every 100 people.” – The Blaze, March 19, 2013.
Hmmmmm ...
Just before the close, the Chair adressed her as "Doctor Yellen"
Sudden switch in language. Of course she will be confirmed - another Doctor in the System.
According to the medical oath, the first law is to
do no wrong to the patient.
Failed that one already. Only question is how long from now to the morgue?
No, not the JP Morgue
A phd. is also a doctor.
