Full WordCloud Of Bernanke Checking To Congress

Tyler Durden's picture




 

It appears that The Bernank has followed his central banking peers around the world and passed the torch on to someone else (since perhaps he has realized his own lack of omnipotence - or more simply he knows the market has become self-aware of QE and needs to reset expectations to have any hope of a QE impact). It's not the first time he has vociferously noted the impact of the fiscal cliff but this time, based on the following word-cloud prominence of the word 'fiscal', it is front-and-center as while he did leave the door open for further policy action - he clearly checked to his congressional co-conspirators.

I was just going to say the same.

Must be really scared of that not to mention it.  It's not what's said sometimes but what goes unsaid.

Also missing: Bank Runs, Insolvency, Recession, Depression, War

"buy what goes unsaid."

Nothing is, but what is not.

Benny is all form in zero substance.

Look again. Spending and unemployment are both fairly prominent in the word cloud.

Benny says:-

Congress, forgive me as I know not what I do, I am a clueless little krugmanite who follows blithly the words of many others.  We have looked endlessly at the situation laid bare before us as regards to the US economy, we have had masters of finance and institutions of irefutable fame beyond these hallowed doors, and we have laboured, indeed we have for four long hard years disecting the problems this great nation faces.

We have slaved over computer generated real time graphics and information of unbelievable complexticity, for many more than 24 hours per day.  Round the clock we have over evaluated the precise and direct action we need to take to put this country back on her rightful place as a one and only superpower.

And you know what?  We dont know what in fucks name has gone wrong, and more so gentlemen, we dont have a fucking green as a frogs cock clue what in gods earth to do about it.......

Er...... any questions??????? (phew.......)

Does "Bollocks" work for you?  Or is that too British?  How about "Bullshit" then?  Too vulgar?  How's about "Nonsense"?

lulz ~ "economic", "growth", & "fiscal" are the two biggest words in the cloud... So whatever he's saying, it must be full of lies... This is a job for WB7... Stick some more appropriate words in there, like PONZI, CORZINED, & VAPORIZED...

Meanwhile, Greece needs a bridge loan to make it till it's nex bailout check arrives from Berlin.  Now we know what it looks like when an entire country gets stuck in a payday loan trap.

But...If the situation is FISCAL!  Could it be that even if Greece (or whoever) came across the money to buy, say, cornflakes that not enough corn  is being grown in the world.  Bummer.  Central planning has been proven many times NOT to work.

Worse yet, there's no easy path back to a free market.

Gentlemen,

I have come across this wise and prophetic place on the interweb, it goes by the hallowed name of 'Zerohedge', daily my good men I read upon the folly of the flight of fancy I have taken upon this world and of this nation, it appears I may have royally fucked up, well according to the bastards taking the piss out of of me on ZH, but none the less, I am determined to push forward this countrys complete and utter destruction until I am finally proven right, or the complete and utter cunt I am.......

Any questions gents?..............(fuck I come close there!!)

Something's wrong with your word-cloud program.

I didn't see "bullshit" anywhere.

Cloud program works, but for important releases the speech monkeys run drafts through the same cloud program and "fix" the text it has been mashed into meaninglessness.

Once the cloud "looks right" then the speech is done.

"Comex gold futures contracts are not backed by any fiscal bullion."

WTF is a 'fiscal bullion'?  Is he implying that some other class of bullion backs COMEX?  Maybe, steak bullion?

When it is bull shit do we call it a cloud to be polite? Or maybe...

Word spray?

Word spew?

Word farts?

Word turds?

Scatological vapor?

There are two critical words missing from that cloud:  Earnings and Profit.

 

How does one evaluate the health of a capitalist economy without even a glance at earnings and profit growth?

Absolving himself for responsibility for what is going to happen.  That can only mean one thing.....he expects something really bad to happen.

And he asked congress to do something it can't possibly do.  Balance the budget while extending tax cuts and keeping spending elevated.  WTF?  This guy is our best economist and he doesn't know that's not possible?

deflation is missing from the word cloud?

I may have missed it but if it isn't there and one of the larger words, no QE just  yet

of course they run a word cloud before they present the speach so they know what the sheeple will be sure to pick up...
