• I wonder what Bernanke learned all those years in Princeton

• He learned how to print money, manipulate a fiat currency and...most of all...to pander just enough to the clamoring masses to avoid the scrutiny which reveals price fixing, rampant inflation and crippling debt.

  He has learned well..

  God bless Ron Paul...the last patriot in government!

• Hey! Princeton has done nothing wrong.

• Well hopefully this will put more weight behind Ron Paul's recent proposal of H.R. 2755, and will totally eradicate the Federal Reserve!

  I hope that people start waking up and give 3rd party candidates a try since both the dems and republicans let us down minus Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich of course.

• Just a question to the Mises readers out there -- Isn't Ron Paul on the banking committee? I thought he was and was *shocked* to not see him in the highlights rolling on the news networks.

• Quote from Quanta: "and was *shocked* to not see him in the highlights rolling on the news networks."

  Are you kidding? The mainstream media thinks he's a nut. He's clouding the issue with facts when what we need is action.

  I loved Bernanke's answer on Constitutional authority (i.e., to coin money). It's right up there with the Supreme Court's interpretation that government confiscation of private property to increase the tax base is a public interest. Speaking of which, I wonder how much that property confiscated in Connecticut under Kelo is worth now?

• Bernanke knows very well what he is doing- destroying the US economy so that the few can grab everything for almost nothing- nationalization....what a joke

• If the bail out goes through can I file a claim on all of those 'illiquid" beanie babies and baseball cards in my attic?

• I'm writing the man in for President. I still have his sign in my yard from the primary season. I love wearing my "Ron Paul for President" t-shirt to my Econ class.

• It never ceases to amaze me that, during these types of interviews, no matter how hard Ron Paul works at making his point, no matter how clear he tries to be, these 'Ken & Barbie' hosts just can't grasp it. Near the end Barbie says something to the effect "...shouldn't there be more regulation on the mortgage companies? That's where the problem started 18 months ago." I mean my god...I give much credit to Mr Paul - it must be very tough to maintain your composure and not shout out something like : "WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE??"

• OT:

  What do people here think of Ron Paul endorsing Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution party over Bob Barr of the Libertarian party?

• With this kind of exposure, maybe Ron Paul will start getting the respect he deserves. Maybe people will recognize that he was a far better candidate for president than Obama or McCain.
  Oh, ok--who am I trying to kid?

• Baldwin is a better choice then Barr because of his consistency and his stand on issues more closely resemble Dr.Paul. Barr and the LP has moved in the mainstream direction while The consitution party has remained constant, I don't completely agree with religion being a huge part of their agenda but I agree with the mans principles. Voting for a third party with principles akin to Ron Paul's may be more affective then Just writing in Paul, unless of course the campaign for liberty becomes a party :)
