Senate Roll Call: How members voted on Bernanke >>
—
"Ben Bernanke just received 4 more years as your Federal Reserve chief. The Senate confirming him by a vote of 70-30. After providing cheap money for years, inflating the housing bubble and then delivering an infinte suppy of money after the collapse that recapitalized Wall Street while depriving America of trillions of dollars in investment, your U.S. Senate believes HE’S THE BEST MAN to run the Federal Reserve for the next 4 years…the biggest and most powerful and most secretive bank in the world, the Federal Reserve."
"Let’s be very clear, Dylan. Wall Street has enormous power here on Capitol Hill. Bernanke is their guy and Wall Street usually gets what they want. What makes me particularly sad is that the White House ALSO pulled out all the stops for Bernanke’s reappointment."
"The American people can NOT understand how the Fed can lend out TRILLIONS to large, financial institutions and we don not know the names of the organizations that received the money. The fight for Fed transparency is going to continue."
