The printer seems to be broke. The vast majority of Benjamin's I have examined are 2006 or prior.
Local counterfeiters have beaten the pen test. Now cashiers need to call over a manager when accepting a $100 bill.
The only thing worse than Moron Bernanke procreating is the thought that someone might actually listen to him.
What a fucking assclown!
Ron Paul has a hearing today - great!

The criminally insane performing for the criminally incompetent.
Guess they don't call it the District of Criminals for nothing.
And yet, none of the events in this post are even mentioned in the earlier post entitled "News That Matters"
Oh, the irony.
We need to get more PhDs on this problem. There has got to be some equation or way to think ourselves out of insolvency. Nobel Prize material for sure.
On second thought, perhaps we need a team of mystics to work on conjuring up Charles Ponzi.
I'm not sure about this info but I've seen somewhere that on its creation the FED was given a 99 years mandate which will end in December 2012 !
Could this be the end date of the FED and the Dollar ?
Is this why the FED pledged zero interest rates until 2013 ?
Could Bernanke be the last FED chairman ?
would love to read, "Bernanke Testifies to Grand Council," "i know not what i do," minutes later, a light breeze gently sways his lifeless body, in perfect synch with the nearby wheat field.
Tyler(s), where can one view the JEC hearing live?
Appreciated.
