Congress To Yellen: "If You Want To Be Good With The Almighty, Delay Until May"
While Janet Yellen has made herself ill from stressing over whether she should or should not raise rates (in December... or ever) as she weighs the economy, the market, and her credibility, Representative Brad Sherman just dropped another huge weight on her shoulders. During Yellen's testimony this morning, having expressed notable hawkishness towards a December hike, Sherman told Yellen that God does not want her to raise interest rates until May. As one Twitter wit noted - you can't make this stuff up.
"If you want to be good with The Almighty, you might want to delay until May."
"God's plan is not for things to rise in the autumn, that is why it is called fall"
Does the Fed's independence include independence from the will of God?

The real question is - Will Goldman Sachs still "Do God's Work" even if Yellen won't?

OMG. Somebody throat punch that asshole.
it's throat ripping time!
"wait til they get a load of me"
joker in batman
After May -- it'll be close to the election, and raising rates right before Clinton gets sworn in isn't nice, so I am optomistic for 2017.
Nothing wrong with being good with the Almighty. I just don't buy that Yellen is the one chosen to share His good word.
"God's plan is not for things to rise in the autumn, that is why it is called fall"
Impeccable logic.
One thing we learnt from Breaking Bad, you don't rise up through an organisation because of competance. You rise because of loyalty.
Clearly that douche has never gotten a boner after September through May.
a democrat wants to keep the artificial life support going....in an election year? you dont say....
lol, he's right. Yellen should make her market decision on nature and animal signs.
Zerohedge didn't show it, but she got DRILLED by the guy right before him. I haven't seen a grilling that good since Ron Paul.
So I guess Chauncey Gardener *did* realize 'his' political ambitions afterall?
Is this an example of separation of church and state? When a Joo can envoke the name of "god" as a reason to delay a rate hike, you know the end is nye...
Like goat entrails? Is this another Guam tipping over moment?
The worst part is the moron even got the seasonal analogy wrong: raising rates would bring the economy down as nature declines in the fall.
Of course this idiot can't think that far through something, like from cause to effect. He probably still scratches is head as to why, when you push the pump handle down, water comes up. As Barbie famously said: math class is tough! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xjgI5oN8DM
One jew as our representative telling another jew in the financial world what they desire. Corruption so far in the open as to not appear to be corruption.
Just one look at that douchebag says it all.

FUCK THE MONEY CHANGERS, THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, AND THEIR GOD!
You can't put the fear of God in someone who is spiritually dead.
Or, you can only put the fear of a god in a superstitious ignorant moron.
Got any proof of that or are we supposed to believe you about the (non)existence of God just because you say so? It is simply a matter of faith whatever you believe.
BTW, The Honorable Sherman is part of a small minority sect in the US.
You certainly can't put the fear of god in someone who is not a superstitious ignorant moron. Its not a matter of believing his statement. It's a fact. He may have implied that believers of God are morons. Which is also true. You state there is a god, it's on you to come up with proof (good luck with that).
What really gets me through every day is the comfort that 100k morons that die every day.. waiting to meet the almighty.. go no where and rot in the ground. Its a shame they can never realize what a fool they have been during their short lives.
Proof? Let's get real. Here is your choice:
a) The entire Universe just happened by random chance. A fully formed cell able to eat, digest, move, complete with DNA of it's genome so it's able to reproduce jumped from a rock one day and X billion years later morphed into a man. YEAH RIGHT MONTY. A 10 YEAR OLD CAN FIGURE THIS OUT. BTW, WHAT DID THE CELL EAT? MAYBE THERE WERE TWO AND ONE ATE THE OTHER?
-OR-
b) The Lord created all just as he said in the Bible.
Don't forget that a single cell is so complex that "science" can't even figure it all you. Can Science make a plant? No. Food? No. Life? No. Science can't do chit. But God can.
Then you can look at human history and wonder why all the great Scientists (looking back centuries later) were Christians. Why all the great nations are Christian (or Jewish, same GOD). Why all the great leaders (looking back centuries later) were men of GOD, etc.
Proof? Don't make me laugh. It's obvious.
The holes in your arguement are so huge I could Sail the Nimitz through it...
Just because you cant/wont read whats out there that completely refutes each and every statement you made doesnt mean we have to even listen to your rantnig about the invisible man in the sky...
Grow up and please, don't breed....
Which is why you can't name any holes in the argument. Got it.
The holes in your arguement are so huge I could Sail the Nimitz through it...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
Psalm 14 King James Bible
Ah another golden nugget from the big fairytale book.
I read 20 books a month for 38 years. I ate books. I would read until I fell aspleep. Drove the wife crazy.
The "big fairytale book", as you call it, I had never read. When I did bother, what I found was so far ahead of anything else, it wasn't funny. If things like answering all the questions, total control of space and time, eternal life, actual thoughts, words, and actions of your Creator, and the real history and purpose of mankind don't float your boat, well....nothing ever will.
the first sentence says many things;
"In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the Earth".
Think about that sentence and what it says. Just that one sentence. Only a supernatural being could write something like that.
Now wrap your head around this. There was something...before the beginning. Human minds cannot comprehend that.
What was the ratio of Pictures to text in these "books" you read?
Bonus Question: Could your "books" be used with Crayons?
Don't you have anything better to do? Like torture ants or play in traffic?
"Only a supernatural being could write something like that."
Well, considering that you too just wrote that exact same thing that you claim only a supernatural being could write, either:
- You just defeated your own argument without even knowing it, meaning you are an idiot and thus ignorable,
Or:
- You are claiming that you too are a supernatural being, which is an astounding claim to make without any supporting evidence, which means either you think we're all idiots, or you had no idea that supporting evidence was required, which would mean that you're an idiot.
The claim that everything has an origin and a reason is an unproven assumption, until everything possible to know is known. It has been a useful premise for science to operate on for the most part, but as with anything else, it is still merely a theory. Therefore, the claim that the universe had to be created by a God does not follow. What also does not follow is that if everything needs a creator, then this God fellow of yours also needs a creator, which means that your theory is at least as unsatisfactory as the scientific theory. Furthermore, we don't even need to know everything in order to prove there is no God, we simply need to know that the claimed powers of this God are incompatible with the universe, and we do, and so we know that God as defined by the Bible and by Christians, cannot, and thus does not, exist. This either means that the Bible is wrong, and there is a God but it is substantially less capable than the Bible says it is, or, far more likely, it's all made up.
Oh my. Did you think I would read 3 or 4 paragraphs of absolute crap that says nothing?
Rest assured, I did not.
Um yeah, let's go with that.
-Vitruvius
"Science can't do chit" - the fact that you wrote that on a keyboard, that relayed that message to other people around the world using light and electrons would prove otherwise.
Get your head out of the sand.
What we are allowed to do, comes from HIM, not men.
Pot. Kettle. Black.
Interesting theory. You should probably test it before sharing it however. Rob a bank, claim it is divine will, and see if that helps you to not get shot in the ass or jailed.
Nothing theoretical about it. All free will is allowed provided it does not change the divine plan. For exampe, you lying and trashIng GOD, apparently, has not changed his ultimate plan for you, which I would guess is TO GO STRAIGHT TO HELL AND DON'T PASS GO.
Stay brainwashed my friend.
And people wonder why the world is in so much trouble...the only thing you have proven is the world is full of retards like you.
P.S. Why leave out Islam? They do in fact have the same God as you idiots. They believe Jesus was a prophet of the one God along with Moses..even the retarded Muslims believe in your virgin birth, speaking in the cradle, miracles etc
You are a waste of life.
Islam is not the same GOD.
Urine idiot. The congressman is a self serving dipshit and you're right there with him.
2nd Law of Thermodynamics and militant athiests with PhDs and Nobel prizes have already agreed that life is 'miraculous' and 'could not have occurred without external intervention'. So the burden of proof is still on you superstitious Luddites how 150 year old scientific laws can be supernaturally disappeared with your prayers.
If there's two alternatives and yours is already shown by your fellow militant atheists to be scientifically, and mathematically beyond impossible (exponent > 500), then that leaves only one other possibility. You're bitching because you don't like it and can't wrap your brain around the verdict but any jury would have no problem accepting that as a de facto proof unless you can provide your proof to the contrary.
So unless you're smarter than all the other scientists in the history of the world to go along with your special Wharton decoder nose ring, and awaiting a big prize in Oslo, then urine idiot.
Two alternatives? I can make up some bullshit story after walking in the desert 40 days out of my mind with almost no food and water too! Prove I'm wrong!
What kind off fucking moron are you?
Feel free to go for a 40 day walk in the desert. You won't be missed, but will be welcomed back with mixed reviews when you return. I, for one, can't wait to hear what kind of bullshit story you come up with; I hope it's better than that which you've been unloading thus far.
Bible is one of the greatest comedies written. Shakespeare has it beat though.
No No No. What's far more funny is people think a rock gave them life. Like you.
On a side note the chick behind the moron is reasonably hot.
Which god are you referring to specifically? Man has posited the existence if thousands of very different god beings you know.
You know which one. And don't pretend otherwise.
It is funny, but I was just speaking with God a few minutes ago and he told me he was playing a practical joke on a member of the US COngress by suggesting he tell the Fed Chief Bedwetter that they shouldnt raise rates until May. I didnt put two and two together until I just read this article on ZH
The other thing God said to me was he was expecting Representative Brad Sherman, who he said was a failed joke on humanity, to reenter Heaven shortly. So Rep Sherman, it is high time you kill yourself apparently. Either that or you can expect to be stricken down by a mysterious thunderbolt out of a clear blue sky. Either way, the rest of us win. Fucking asshat
That's funny, I just heard a voice in my head say: "the tree of liberty needs watering." Coincidence?
don't you just love the tag team bluff about rates? after all, how many times can janet lie on her own and still be believed?
but now the fed has a confederate in Brad Sherman who will lie for them.
and there's plenty more liars where that one came from. I mean, we're talking about congress. so, when May comes around, some other character with no morals will come along and say, Brad Sherman is crazy, we can't raise rates until September.
Ehh, I think they are waiting for the belief that they will raise rates to reach next to zero. That way when they do it will have maximum "Fleecing" effect on the regular Mutual fund investor.
"That's why they call it Fall"
Really? I thought it had something to do with leaves.
Are you hinting that Brad should leave?
Exactly. Rates will NEVER be raised. The Punch and Judy show needs to be constantly refreshed. It's like a 60's sitcom. What zany situation will Lucy find herself in this week? The audience laps it up.
That's a laugh track, folks.
And....
Recovery Road and liftoff are saved till May.
Long Live Recover Road and Liftoff. ..
You mean they're NOT doing God's Work? But I thought God commanded that we give our personal freedoms to a bunch of unelected bureaucratic banksters. I thought God wanted a world of "Endless War". Doesn't God want us to pay for a system that we had shoved down our throats?
</Motherfuckin' Sarc>
Surpising, given how sophisticated Sherman looks while grinning...
My ex-wife's Father had Alzheimers. He made that exact face when filling his pants.
Oh Yeah? My 900 foot Jesus said RAISE. And he can beat your Ol' Jehovah ANY DAY PAL. God's Chosen...my ass.
Pharasiacal to the extreme...speaking the same language to each other
What's with his face? Is he going to be a new character in Batman?
LMAO...what can you say?!? Seriously.
So Brad... "what the fuck" goes down in May?...
This from the Congressman who alerted us a year later of the declarations of martial law from Henry Paulson needing to be imposed if $700 billion from the taxpayers wasn't forth coming?!!!!

Oh, and I've been to the San Fernando Valley, and it's a shithole. So I think it's also God's will that the place slip quietly into the Pacific.
"Oh, and I've been to the San Fernando Valley, and it's a shithole."
Depends on what part of the San Fernando valley, just like any place else.
Not familiar with this guy - not sure if his comments are meant to be clever or he really is a "true believer". Either way, I continue to be horrified each time I get a closer look at the idiots in charge.
"Not familiar with this guy"
He is the one who exposed the claim that tanks would be in the streets if congress didn't hand over 700 billion to the bankers.
He voted against TARP twice.
He is as left wing and progressive as you can get as well.
Conservative Jew? Haha....yeah, sure thing.
Only because he was holding out for more.
OMyFuckingGod another elected, law-making, oath-breaking official with a direct line to God.
Check out the smirk on the chick sitting behind him....almost as entertaining.
the God he is referring to is Satan... all zios worship money
Jesus speaking to the Pharisees, John 8:44
“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."
True enough. The god of this world is Satan. The bible tells us so.
That does not mean that there is not a God of all that is seen and unseen above Satan ... or that there is not a son of God in Christ.
What a raving lunitic. So there you have it. The Ponzi that is the USSA government is now controlled by God under the custody of the FED. All has become clear. God just told to buy BTFD. So for here on out, I'm all in.
who cares - who's the slice of ass behind him?
Precisely what I was wondering. Rorrwwwwwwwww
Which one? The long hair or the short hair?
Another fatass tribe intern
the one that still has this reptile's cum dripping out of her ass from this morning's cialis fueled romp?
No, the one that feltched it. She's the one that would do ANYTHING...
Yeah but this Tribe member would never ask, what would Jesus do ??
Sherman told Yellen that God does not want her to raise interest rates until May. As one Twitter wit noted - you can't make this stuff up.

Good works alone will not get you into heaven.
and he looks like Col Klink, HOOOGAN, you will not raise interest rates at Christmas, the guards all want to go home..
They dont call this shithole the JEW S A for nothin' bitches.........FUCK YOU.
Congress has already gone full retard - but apparently it can get worse - lol
When did Greenspan say to wait?...missed that interview...
I guess this makes sense given that the god of this world is Satan, as revealed in the bible, when he offered the world to Christ if he would only kneel down before him. It also makes sense because both branches of Corrupt Congress Critters are taking an unusually extended break next summer as if they know what it coming.
Maybe they need to do some last minute outfitting of their bunkers before TSHTF.
OMG Congressman Brad is from just over the hill here, and he's been at it for a long time, and mostly had the good sense to keep his trap shut. Googling ... heck, he's not even that old. I had him down as mostly harmless, for a California Democrat. I am not aware that he knows anything about finance ... oh OK, he's been an accountant, was on the "board of equilization" (what a name!), he is on the "Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Insurance, and Government-Sponsored Enterprises" so he's actually an f'ing expert, isn't he. Well, that's clear enough, isn't it. OK, so maybe he's drunk.

Hey aren't you late for class?
Hi I'm new here, anyone tell me who's this "God" guy?
Thanks buddies
by "God" does he mean Blankfein ?
just fucking raise rates now bitch - make it a clean 1% - or just go for the gusto and go 3% now you fucking coward - blow this whole thing to smithereens so we can get on with the other side of the blow-up
Is this microphone on? And now, I'd like to sing for your consideration, "Lady of Spain".
Can they make "insider speak" any more glaringly obvious? Rope is far too nice for this asshole.
Since when did God's plan become clear to you or to anyone else? I thought the US was a secular state, I must be wrong!
Do you really think critical monetary policy should be formulated literally in sync with a 4 year old's view of the seasons?
Just wow.
You are so wrong to think of the US being a secular state. Powerful religious groups lobby politicians to get the laws they want, and to throw out laws which go against their current interpretations of religious books. To stand a chance of being elected you need to present yourself as being open to these lobby groups.

And here is the decision announcement by the Chairman of the board...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REVGIsFW9rQ
What an opportunity for the Fed to show it's complete "independence" from politics.
I wonder what "Almighty" this clown is speaking about?
The "Almighty Dollar".
The S&P is down seven points - activate the plunge protection team. You gotta love a system that ties a person's retirement account into something as stable and predictable as the stock market. Genius!!!!
I generally ignore what they say and watch what they do. Theory and praxis are two very different things.
People are deluded by the economists because the economists seem to believe the popular theories and are therefore sometimes very persuasive. The crowd can be wrong...ad populum is a type of fallacy for a reason.
Focus on the objective world. Rates are kept low because the Fed claims to want inflation but what they got after seven years was deflation. The Fed is going to raise rates supposedly to cool inflation but when they do that monetary velocity will spike and inflation will heat up.Oil crashed and that is probably one condition driving the incipient policy shift.
What people do in life very often generates exactly the opposite of the intended result and that is certainly superficially true of the Fed, notwithstanding one might argue that the intent was never to do the right thing for ordinary people.
WTF is this guy talking about? I'm pretty sure God doesn't care about monetary policy. His opinion on hypocrites and money changers however is clear.
No different. Than the Tribe speak. Of. Get to work Mr. Chairman.
A Democrat actually talking about the will of God?? You don't see that much anymore.
It is reassuring to know that Representative Sherman is getting “divine guidance” for economic policy. If we read this correctly, God is saying- the FED should continue providing ultra-cheap money (from taxpayers) so that large corporations can continue with their stock buy-backs to keep their stock price up and the markets inflated. What happens when the bubble bursts?
God knows.
Tyler,
You are better than this, make the connection....

What was the message Mr. Gardner?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H3wGIYhz0Q
I do believe that Rep Brady Showman is on solid scripture grounds.... Please look closely at this section from Leviticus 25:35-37:
"If one of your brethren becomes poor, and falls into poverty among you, then you shall help him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you. Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you. You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food for profit."
I fail to see how God could make this any plainer. God's people are absolutely forbidden from charging interest on money lent to other believers (screw the unbelievers). Unfortunately the FED is not part of Gods's people so this does not apply. I guess Brady needs to try another way to convince the FED to hold the line.....
Not sure who I like less...atheists that twist bible scrripture for their own agenda, or those who say they believe and twist scripture for their own agenda...
Sherman is one of the reasons I moved from LA. "There will be growth in the spring."
It is called the "green shoots" recovery plan.
I do hope congress requisitioned enough strait jackets for congress.
HOLY FUCK
It's always not May.
That conggress almighty means AIPAC??

I used to be baffled at how Hitler convinced the German people to slaughter the Jews.
Now I get it.
Soft suggestion: When you get a couple of hours to spare check out the logistics of said slaughter, especially the magic 6 M.. I mean the amount of rolling stock, fuel, crematoria capacity, disposal of bodies etc. It's all there and be prepared for your jaw hitting the desk.
Sherman is clearly quoting someone else.
Whackos like that turn religion into opium and are suffering from serious mental disorders.It's just like idiots brainwashed in the middleeast and in America.The KKK is the same.Coo-coo.
I think he was either referring to Blankfein or Hillary...not the Almighty most people think of as God.
