Bernanke vs. Ron Paul – Live - Wed July 16, 10AM EDT

Posted July 16th, 2008 by Michael Nystrom Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke continues with his semi-annual testimony before Congress Wednesday morning. Bernanke will face Dr. Paul and the Congressional Committee on Financial Services on Wednesday July 16 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Be sure to tune in on CNBC, Bloomberg, or CSPAN. To watch online, tune into CSPAN.org.
It was six and a half years ago that I first saw Ron Paul, live on CNBC, during Greenspan’s February 2002 Monetary Policy Report to Congress. Dr. Paul began by comparing the US financial system to Enron! I simply could not believe my ears. Here is an excerpt of the exchange:

"I understand there is a lot of nervousness," Bush said. "But the economy is growing, productivity is high, trade is up, people are working. It's not as good as we'd like, but to the extent that we find weakness, we'll move."

It doesn't bode well.

Have the previous owners of the bank managed to sell their shares? If not, then the bank will be saved. If they have, then it will be allowed to fail.

Here’s a refreshingly honest assessment of the Feds Fannie / Freddie bailout. Rogers also talks about a lot of other topics and where tomorrows financial opportunities lie.
