Ben Bernanke Answers Your Twitter Questions Live!

[green73]

Today at 4pm Eastern, Ben Bernanke, at the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy, will take live questions from Twitter for the first time as part of the Fed's new policy of openness. Of course, the policy won't be so open for him to answer if banks are actually using reserves as prop trading funding (as was the case with JP Morgan, and any other bank which realizes that when it comes to fungible cash, money is just 1s and 0s in a server somewhere). However, the filter may slip and at least one or two good questions may slip through. So please take this opportunity to submit any pressing questions you may have on the Fed's policy to pump the market to new stratospheric highs courtesy of $85 billion (for now) in monthly reserve injections into the Primary Dealers, by using the #fordschoolbernanke tag to your questions. For convenience, we have appended a twitter module below that captures all tweets with that querry.

Someone should ask a follow up question on the "is gold money?" debate between him and Ron.

Jim Grant ‏@GrantsPub President Andrew Jackson killed the central bank of his time. What's his face doing on a Federal Reserve note? #fordschoolbernanke

I've often said, "What kind of sick, central banksta joke is that anyhow?"

@GrantsPub: Why is the Fed "learning by doing" when there are 2,500 yrs of monetary history to consult? #fordschoolbernanke
