Congressman Ron Paul questions Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke in a U.S. House Financial Services Committee Meeting shortly after reports surfaced that the Federal Reserve was preparing for a third round of quantitative easing.

In a July 13, 2011 exchange between Rep. Ron Paul and Fed Chairman Ben Bernake, Dr. Paul asks whether or not Bernanke believes gold is money. After a short pause, Bernanke answers "no," claiming that central banks only hold gold because of tradition.

Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas) confronts Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke on monetary policy, and says that Fed policy has not helped to stabilize the economy over the last 30 years or so. Paul asks how the Fed can manage monetary policy if it doesn't have a definition for a dollar. And, he adds, gold is the true long-term measurement of value.

Here's a little irony in the House GOP sweep: The next chairman of the monetary policy subcommittee -- overseeing the Federal Reserve?

None other than Ron Paul (R-Texas), who'd just as soon abolish the Fed.

Ben Bernanke,
It has come to my attention that you will be compiling a list of people that post derogatory/negative comments about the Federal Reserve...

I doubt you or anyone on your behalf will respond to this letter, however if you do, your reply will be made public.

In Peace, Freedom, Love and Liberty,

If you want to drive a rational economic-type of person crazy, simply mimic Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's willful refusal to acknowledge seemingly obvious inflationary trends.

You can start by quoting Dr. Bernanke's observations on the ramp in commodity prices, made Monday night:

"I think the increase will be transitory, that it will pass, and we will go back to a level of inflation that is consistent with our price stability mandate."

When Ron Paul brandished a Silver Circle “Rebel Round” in Ben Bernanke’s face during a House Financial Services Committee hearing it was an unprecedented marketing win for us.

We produce the Rebel Rounds both as a replica of the coins minted by the Rebels in the Silver Circle movie and as an investment or barter currency for those real world Rebels who understand the economics of fiat paper. But we could never have predicted the boom in sales that immediately followed Ron Paul’s indirect endorsement.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. economy ceased to function this week after unexpected existential remarks by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke shocked Americans into realizing that money is, in fact, just a meaningless and intangible social construct.

Land banks are government entities that buy, sell and demolish real estate properties. Bernanke is encouraging the creation of Federal Land Bank, which could make the Federal Government the landlord of many renters.
