More "accomplishments" of our semi-retired President.

Federal Reserve Achievement: Rich Getting Richer, Poor Getting Poorer, Middle Class Being Squeezed


by Steve Lonegan 19 Sep 2014

Media coverage of Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen’s speech ignores the continuing predicament of the middle income American.

Sure, those with highly leveraged portfolios or a large pile of retirement assets might care, but that’s not the median income worker. For conversation sake let’s call her Julia. Julia is far more concerned with whether her earnings will ever catch up to those in 2007.

[...]

The massive Fed interventions and record low interest rates over the last 6 years haven’t helped her. The government recently reported that the 2013 median income of Americans had plummeted 8 percent from 2007. Over half of that happened while the Federal Reserve trumpeted its various “Quantitative Easing” programs.


[...]

In contrast over the five years before the dollar was formally cut loose from gold in August 1971, the real earnings of the average American worker grew by 6.3% per year. Compared to the 8% drop Julia has experienced the last five years, that’s a difference of 14.3% in her buying power.

With the dollar fixed to gold, people did not wake up every morning and listen for how much their paycheck had shrunk in its buying power. Family budgeting was so much easier!

Another BS Marklehooey thread.

I will agree that the Fed is too powerful; however, its charter was set in motion back in December of 1913, and no president since, Republican or Democrat, has ever tried to take away or change the power the Fed has.

Instead of blaming President Obama for what the Fed does, Markle should instead offer solutions to the Fed's overwhelming influence over the economy of our nation, and tell us how Republicans are ready to join Democrats in Congress to vote for change (they aren't....).

The only Republican in recent years who championed changing the Fed's power has been former congressman Ron Paul, who Markle would never have supported even for one second. Congressman Paul wrote a book in 2009 titled "End the Fed." I read it and it was very compelling.

Z, are you trying to say the president of the united states of America has no say so or pull in what the fed does in regards to qualitative easing (QE) ?

You know how QE is making the rich richer at the cost of the tax payers who will have to pay this with interest.

Is it not a scam to inflate the GDP and make things look rosey while padding the pockets of wallstreet?

It's estimated that we owe the progressive central bank (federal reserve) over 4 TRILLION DOLLARS. For what you may ask?

The President has no say over what the Fed Chairman does. That makes the Fed Chairman the most powerful person in the land (and really, our defacto ruler). You need to go back to school and study the origins of the Fed and what its purpose is.

maybe you should go back to screwl

The Federal Reserve System's structure is composed of the presidentially appointed Board of Governors

The members of the Board of Governors, including its chair and vice-chair, are chosen by the President and confirmed by the Senate

The U.S. Government receives all of the system's annual profits, after a statutory dividend of 6% on member banks' capital investment is paid, and an account surplus is maintained. In 2010, the Federal Reserve made a profit of $82 billion and transferred $79 billion to the U.S. Treasury

If you think the president has no interaction with the federal reserve then, well.......

HA HA

If you really want to learn something about the Fed and its relationship with America, you need to watch this 9:22 minute video.

Who appoints the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board? Does he not interview and learn the monetary philosophy of his nominee?

Given the bully pulpit, can the President NOT heavily lobby that the Federal Reserve submit to a regular audit?

I didn't say what you said about the Fed wasn't true. But you blaming this on the President is disingenuous, as most of your posts usually are.

You tell us what the President should do about curbing Janet Yellen's power, and what the Republican plan for changing the Fed this is all about. We are all ears.... Of course, we also know how you felt about former Congressman Ron Paul, who was an outspoken critic of the Fed...... YOU were steadfastly against him and stated so in many of your forum posts. Ron Paul was 100% correct on the Fed, and I voted for him in the 2012 primary (I am still registered as a Republican).

You posted nonsensical explanations for the drop in median income in America. What was not true........

With the dollar fixed to gold, people did not wake up every morning and listen for how much their paycheck had shrunk in its buying power.


Utter economic nonsense. The drop in the median income in America is tied to dropping income taxes at the higher brackets, attacks on unions in America, and economic comparative advantages in America being displaced by a world economy. The gold standard had NOTHING to do with the same. Please take a freshman economics class. That may be more than you can handle......try economics for dummies...https://archive.org/details/EconomicsForDummies_

Wow, still doing nothing more than stirring the pot with nothing.

Taxes, since semi-retired President Barack Hussein Obama have skyrocketed. The "attacks" on unions are by the people who want nothing to do with them. Thinking the gold standard had nothing to do with our current fiasco is laughable at best.

As for economy, here is a real course. Very short for your attention span. Enjoy.

Where do you pull this stuff from? Are you saying revenues are up? They are, but the tax rates need to return to the mid eighties to offset the Reaganomics which destroyed our middle class. The gold standard as the cause of the loss of median income......utter lack of economic knowledge. Keep posting nonsense. You are over your head again. The best part is you simply run away when you do not understand something. Post somebody laughing and run away. You have established the pattern, but try to actually respond in real time to an economic discussion. You run and hide hoping you can find some irrelevant link which you do not even understand.....usually hours after we are discussing something which you have ran away. I am be very honest and not sarcastic......you have zero understanding of economics and the more you pretend you do.......well you disappear. Try a real time discussion.

The national debt was at approximately $6 trillion when Clinton left office and at $10 trillion when Bush left office. That's only $4 trillion dollars and I doubt it was all spent on the war machine... However if you think Bush raised that much because of military expenditures then I'll suggest that the soon to be $8 trillion+ that your blood soaked Nobel Champion of Peace has tacked on to the national deficit in the last six years is most likely higher in military expenditures because of his military adventurism where the money isn't being tracked or the loss of innocent lives as those unaccounted for bombs dropped in sovereign nations that he didn't have Congressional approval to attack or go to war with.

Yeah. Let's just elect another Julius Ceasar like the blood soaked Nobel Champion of Peace that you love so much or perhaps a Nero would be better next time around.
