Comments on: Fed Chief Dampens Recovery Expectations

Market Stabilization Only First Step; "The Way Forward" Won't Be Easy, Bernanke Warns

[Redoubt]

What has happned has been happening for over a decade. It''s just that NOW we are beginning to see through the blue vs. red BS fog.

As long as we are bickering between us, we don''t pay attention to what BOTH parties are doing in Washington. Both parties wanted the $700 billion for Wall Street. Both part candidates, MCain and Obama, voted FOR it.

So why do we fight?

Your fellow American is NOT your enemy. We may disagree on some things but no one in the house next door is evil!

Unscrew your heads from the koolaide wars... we are being deceived by BOTH parties.

Vote for whomever you wish but remember that it is highly unlikely that either party or candidate would vote a relif package for you if your lights were about to be disconnected or if your pantry was bare.

Americans need to join in a fight to regain their nation and the only way to do that is to put down the silly party banners and stand under the one flag that unites us all.

How many here feel safe counting on either the GOP or Democrats to vote a relief package so you could feed your family in a crisis?

THE SPIRAL TO THE BOTTOM SIMPLY WILL NOT BE STOPPED...

To put things in perspective:

In 1920, the Dow was around 100

In 1929, it was around 400

It spent THREE YEARS dropping to around 40 in 1932.

In 1933, it was back to 100.

It did not get above 200 until 1946.

It did not get back to 400 until the mid-1950''s.

IN OUR TIME:

It was around 3,000 in 1990

It was around 12,000 in 2000

It hovered around 12,000 until this year.

You guess what will happen from here.

Latest USA population poll says roughly 310 million people - of which 199 million (are of age to) pay taxes - 136 million 9are of age to) register to vote -but only 112 million (randomly) actually take the time to cast a ballot.

Now then, figure that about half the people you see on any given day are politically opposed to you. That''s right, one in every two people don''t agree on your politics.

The choice is yours... are half od all voting age Americans evil or... do they simply disagree?

Here''s another one. Out of all those who represent us in Congress, the majority, including both Obama and McCain voted FOR the $700 billion bail out of Wall Street.

If you lost your job and were going to have your electricity disconnected, would anyone YOU voted FOR vote for a bailout in YOUR behalf?

How many here feel safe counting on either the GOP or Democrats to vote a relief package so you could feed your family in a crisis?

Stop the partisan games. We are already a house divided.

We are on our own now.

I demand we print our own money and get rid of the The Fed, They have nothing to do with this country. They are a bunch of banks

[txgrouch2007]

BERNANKE IS A BABY BOOMER.

So is Paulson, Bush, Clinton (both of them), Bill Gates, and Joseph Hazelwood.

60% of Congress are Baby Boomers.

If you think our government is doing a bad job and acting like a bunch of spoiled brats, MAYBE THAT''S WHY.

I don''t know about you, but the moment Congress dumped $700 billion US tax dollars into ths mess, I knew it was not going to be good.

And herein lies the crux of half the problem because that money was ''donated'' against the express and undeniable wishes of the American people. The whole thing was carried knowing it was NOT what the People wanted.

Excuses range from ''It had to be done'' to ''It was the only thing to do''. but they don''t wash well when we are supposedly living in a free market society where people and corporations are responsible for their own behavior.

In Novemeber, we are asked to choose between Barrack Obama and John McCain. They pretend to be distantly postioned but in truth? They both... yes BOTH voted for that $700 billion ripoff.

As a nation, we are now beginning to get a wake up call that our parties and politicians are NOT as they have pretended. There are NO real differences between Mr. McCain and Mr. Obama when both can join in giving away a large portion of the national treasury to the Wall Street bankers.

You vote how you choose to. This post was not meant to try and change your mind. In fact, only YOU can dod that.

Only you can prevent another ripoff.

not surprising you consider yourself "everyone"

You are just a Bush basher who cant accept that this is all the fault of Clinton, Obama, and all the other liberals.

[gop_will_win]

This will give McCain the advantage he needs to win the election. Everyone knows this whole crisis was caused by the liberal democrats who demanded crack addicts get loans to buy houses. Well we all know how this one played out.

Listen to the famous "Hurry Up" song. You''ll get it.

[renonv5]

Here is yet another crackerjack telling us the obvious. As if we didn''t know we are in one heck of a mess and that they have no idea how to fix it.

[maggietexas4]

Would any of you want Palin guiding us through this economic mess or even elderly McCain?

[credibility2]

The influence of younger individuals in this crisis, who no doubt are accustomed to immediacy of anything, need some growing up to do. The festering of this crisis didn''t just happen in the last years. It''s been evolving for decades and most recently escalated in the 1990s and early 2000s. Congress, Wall St and Main St are all to blame for the crisis. Belt tightening aside, individuals need to finally start adopting a way of life that includes, integrity, ethics, honesty, morality, living within one''s means, saving more and charging less. Can''t afford it, then you don''t need it. Can''t pay it back, then your irresponsible and a deadbeat. Can''t fix it, then don''t break it. If you have to suffer because of the crisis, assess what level of involvement, if any, you had; if none, then you''re the type of individual that our nation needs to stay the course; if a part of the problem, accept the responsibility, own up to your having been a part of the cause and do something about making amends for your failings and shortcomings. Lastly, stop blaming Wall St and the Repubs and Bush. The corrupt and dismissive Dems and the greedy on Main St are also to blame and should own up to their sins.

Give Bernanke a cookie he is a genuis my God how does he do it. Hey Ben go back to where you and Pauly came from because you should have seen this 1 year ago. Instead you told us everything was fine. Just like a good little Bushbot.
