I agree with Bernanke. Gold is not money, the Fed & Govt steel your money everyday through a hidden taxation know as inflation. Money has lost over 95% of its purchasing power over the last 10 years, that is why you need to earn interest on your money just to stop it losing its value over time. This means that money has to continiously be printed to infinity just to keep its value (ponzi scheme). Gold on the other hand has gone from $300 to $1586 over the last 10 years, definitly not money.

“If the American people ever allow the banks to control issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied”. — Thomas Jefferson

Bernanke just wants to play word games. “Well, we didn’t actually spend it.” Yeah, MF, but you PRINTED it and injected it into the economy…what’s the difference? It’s your Keynesian economics that believes you can buy off bad debt rather than allowing it to liquidate. It’s YOUR GD Fiat Money System! That SOB is such a lying, conniving little worm that it just makes me sick to listen to him. The Fed has FAILED and has to go!!!!

If Bernanke had answered quickly and confidently without the look of confusion he would have saved some face. It really isn’t the fact he answered “No” that made him look incompetent. It was the look of being physically shaken by the question.

“Why don’t they hold diamonds”

and that’s why I love Ron Paul. He shut him up. What did he say? It’s tradition!? ROFL. Come ON. If it was as he described, then they WOULD hold diamonds.

count on the fox news viewers to turn a dumb accusation into a revelation. For the record gold is not money. Gold represents money but its NOT money. Money is something man made, gold is made by nature, God, or what ever else you chose to believe. Money can be used to represent gold, but gold can no longer be used to represent money. Those days are gone.

How embarrassing for Bernanke. Haha. Ron Paul basically just asked him if the earth is round.
