Federal Reserve ADMITS To Robbing The Citizens

watch here...
Any more reasons to keep paying back your debts?

From Denninger...
So if The Fed is in fact "in the business of moral hazard", then we have just had The Dallas Fed admit a truth that is in fact quite uncomfortable for anyone who has a brain and is willing to use it - The Federal Reserve, as a consequence of how its mission is defined and how it chooses to discharge that mission, shifts costs and losses away from those people responsible for them and onto those people who have been and are prudent - that is, the American Public at large.
In short, what Rosenblum admitted - on national television - is that The Fed as currently constituted and operated exists to rob the public to cover the losses of wealthy investment and commercial bankers, thereby allowing them to take risks that they would never take in a market where idiocy (or even outright fraud) was punished by bankruptcy.

I've been watching the pronouncements from the Dallas FED chair for quite some time now, as he is about the only suit who is spot-on the situation at hand. It makes me wonder if he is simply a masochist or perhaps a mole planted from the doomer crowd...

Didn't Bernanke admit as much months ago during Congr. hearings that the current policy would work like an extra tax (inflation) on the public in favor of the big financial institutions?

Perhaps, but to see it spoken as clearly as this is...well..amazing.

Its time to have the hearings, trials and then send some of these bankers, wall street cronies, and federal reserve crooks to jail.

Unfortunately that is not going to happen, because that would require nothing short of a revolution. And only starved people are able to start a revolution.

sentiments shared by many if not most of us.

so why aren't Cynthia McKinney & Elliott Spitzer the Democratic nominees? she wants to investigate 9-11, he wants to investigate the SEC.
