This is what caused the spike in the markets @ 3:30pm on Friday. A snipet of the interview with Bernanke and QE to infinity was released at that time. MJ

Rather than critisising, what's your plan to get unemployment back under 5% and for your property to be worth what it was 2 years ago? I know it's not your job or duty to figure it out as it is his, I'm just saying, what would you do? Not being a smart arse, just asking.
To forgive is to free a prisoner, and to discover that prisoner was you.
The way to stimulate the economy is to cut government spending and also reduce taxes, then outlaw unions from controlling wages.
This is outside of what the Fed is capable of doing so, so they are resorting to the only choice they have. Eventually what they are doing will stimulate the economy because it is weakening the dollar and will force us to buy more US products.
The problem is the other countries are also weakening their currencies so we have to do twice as much to make it effective, that is why there is talk of QE3. The people hurt the most will be the poor, and the rich will prosper under a QE3.
The poor will be forced to take low paying jobs that will make manufacturing possible again, this is why there is talk of doubling exports in 4 years. But it won't happen unless taxes are lowered and spending is cut, something that won't happen with this President.
BTW if anyone think unions are still necessary take a look at California, a state entirely run by unions. They are near bankruptcy and won't cut spending if it involves unions, so there is no cutting. Most of the money for education goes to retirees and teachers that have half a school year and the rest of the year is a vacation.
So in a bizarre way what the Fed is doing may be saving this Country by lowering our standards. If the dollar crashes enough then the union wages will not be as good as they once were, and we can compete. With enough QE it will happen.

First, fire bernake. Second cut corporate taxes so they can hire and third, cut individuals taxes so they can spend more. It's that simple.

The majority of the unemployed are under educated with high school diplomas or less. There is no fix for them.
I totally agree - now that I'm retired, I've occasionally taught as a substitute in the local high schools (along with other part-time work) and I'm stunned at the high dropout rates. Aside from a burger-flipping job, these kids have no future and will become part of an almost permanently unemployable group.

The banks have to go under, setting off a system reset.

He's a product of his environment and doing as good a job as could be expected.
Yea Right.

My question to the Stock trader who depends on Wallstreet running.
QE1 saved your way of making a living the way I see it.
What am I missing? I can not understand all the Ben Bernanke bashing from this crowd.

For those with college degrees and more, how about starting with:
- increasing the fees on H1-B visa workers. If there truly is a shortage of tech workers, then companies would be ok with paying the increased fees.
