Who Taught Sarah Palin How To Spell Bernanke?
Sarah Palin warns Zimbabwe Ben to 'cease and desist' all money printing...
The Primper vs. The Printer. I'm not saying she's wrong. I'm just saying someone had to teach her how to spell Bernanke, and there's no doubt that quantitative easing was refudiated and not allowed on the test.
Palin Warns Bernanke: 'Cease And Desist' Purchase Of Treasuries
NEW YORK -- In an unusual detour, Sarah Palin waded into monetary policy Monday, lashing out at Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and urging him to "cease and desist" his attempt to jumpstart the economic recovery by committing to buy up to $900 billion in U.S. government debt.
In prepared remarks to be delivered to a trade association in Phoenix, the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate said she is "deeply concerned" with the Fed's plan, announced last week, arguing that the nation's central bank would be "printing [money] out of thin air" and that it is "far from certain" to "even work." The argument was unusual in that monetary policy is supposed to be immune to political pressure.
Palin, whose monetary policy credentials could not be deduced Monday, addressed one side of the issue in what is likely to be an appeal to the Tea Party movement, which is deeply suspicious of the central bank.
"The Fed hopes doing this may buy us a little temporary economic growth by supplying banks with extra cash which they could then lend out to businesses," she will say, according to remarks leaked to The National Review, a conservative publication. "But it's far from certain this will even work."
Palin adds that, if it doesn't work, the Fed runs the risk of printing so much money that "no one will want to buy our debt anymore."
The risk of inflation is too large, Palin will argue. She notes that prices have already "risen significantly" as "everyone who ever goes out shopping for groceries knows." She adds that the price of oil is also rising, according to her prepared remarks, which she links to the Fed's asset purchases and "decision to dump more dollars onto the market."
Palin then will argue that "the worse part" of this is that the White House "refuses to open up our offshore and onshore oil reserves for exploration." It's unclear how drilling for oil relates to monetary policy.
Referencing calls from foreign leaders who oppose the Fed's plan, Palin will call on Bernanke to "cease and desist." The former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, doesn't appear to mention the fact that foreign leaders are concerned because the Fed's plan is likely to lead to a devaluing of the dollar relative to other currencies, which should stimulate exports and cut into imports.

To try to silence Palin due to a perceived lack of expertise is to ignore that Bernanke was supposedly the reigning expert on how to minimize a depression, and he is failing spectacularly because he refuses to let banks go bust. Yes, she reluctantly supported the bailout, which was idiotic, but at least she's rejecting this form of currency abuse. Give her a break.

I did give her a break...i said she was correct in her criticism...but there were too many good jokes for me to pass up...i jsut think it's off the charts hilarious that a woman who doesn't understand finance is giving the Fed chairman advice...some days i love my job...

Sarah's dumb and dumb is funny, no one can refudiate that. Sarah being smarter than Bernanke doesn't mean anything either; most crack-whores are smarter than him. I must say though, she has really parfayed her charms into a lucrative career, and you can't damn a girl for cashing in on her momma-grizzlitudiness.
But to answer your statements about QE 2, I think everyone's so upset for a few reasons, but perhaps the biggest one is that everyone is now realizing that there is no plan "B." Monetizing the debt is the new normal. There was more of a "wait and see" attitude about QE 1. It was kind of like shooting golf balls into that leaky pipe in the gulf; no one really expected it to work but what the hell did we know?
Ben's made it clear that he's going to shoot every last god-damned golf ball he can find into the hole, because sooner or later it's gonna work....
That's cause for concern.

I agree completely and i don't begrudge her...i applaud what she's accomplished...but as you know, i just don't want her as prez...

Japan has been shooting for 20 years and ZILCH...that's what fucking scares me...here's what is interesting about all the media attention...bernanke is setting himself up for a MASSIVE public failure with QE2...never has so much attention been paid to a Fed chariman and his gamble...when it fails, and we both know it will, he might just be the fall guy...granted, Congress can't fire him, but they can sure make a lot of noise about what a piss-poor job he's doing...ron paul will make his life a living hell every week in the sub-com...
So I think there's a chance he might end up leaving his job - he'll quit because of the constant criticism (fingers crossed) - within 24 months...all because of a very public QE2...weird...
TIME's 2009 "Man of the Year"; His magic show is getting old fast now.

WRONG. We are very fiscally conservative around here...we just don't like sarah...and feel she defintiely shouldn't be our leader...ron paul's fiscal conservative credentials blow sarah's out of the room...
yes that young girl is sarah...at least as far as i know...but other sites recognize that pic as sarah as well...
The Best thing she could do is get behing Ron Paul. She has the MSM, eatting out of her hand, evan with the Miss-Spellin. Then she would be working for us, the people.
The Hell with the Tea Party. GS is the man running the show, like he is everything else. Sara Palin could make histroy if she would just open her eyes.
