  • this is so true. you couldn't buy a bucket of ice cream today for what you could buy a house for 30 years ago. Why? The invisible tax of inflation. Ronn Paul is here to tell us and the fed cheif the truth.

  • the fed cheif at the end had a blank speechless look on his face, is Mr.Paul 100% correct in his assumptions, Will there be another r3volUtion? Is the Fed controlled by special interests is my big question that will go unanswered today.

  • It may seem extreme thinking, but I believe it when Mr. Paul says the Federal Reserve needs to go. I've stated this before: The Fed is neither federal or a reserve, it's an incredibly elaborate ruse designed to hijack our money. Sound fiscal policy should be a top priority for Americans, along with ending this debauchery in Iraq.

  • What amazes me about this video is Mr. Bernanke’s response. I can’t believe the Fed can get away with this sort of thing by just saying, “We’ll we are doing something about it.”
