Bernanke: It is essential that Americans charge more on their credit cards.

Well, of course that's not an actual quote...but it is exactly what he is communicating. Can u imagine if Bernanke, Paulson, McCain, or Obama were to say such a thing? They would be ridiculed and discredited. Instead, they refer to this ridilculous solution as "injecting liquidity."

People need to understand is that when these clowns say "we need to inject liquidity into the banking system to loosen up the credit market." (which is the exact mantra that they are all reciting), here's what it really comes down to:

1. Consumer spending accounts for 75% of the economy.
2. Consumers buy things on credit.
3. Banks are reluctant to lend because of tons of bad debt (mortgages, delinquent car loans, overdue credit cards, chargeoffs etc)
4. Consumers are also reluctant to borrow because they maxed out and cutting back in order to survive.

5. So, to keep the economy afloat, the banksters need to put more consumer debt on the backs of American consumers.

"Liquidity" = more consumer debt! Plain and simple. That's their f**** plan? This is lunatic economics, camoflauged in fancy language!!!

It's sort of like when the Pentagon refers to the painful burning, suffacation, and crushing of innocent women, children, and elderly foreigners as "collateral damage." Words can totally distort the true meaning of things.

Isn't the government spending enough on it's credit cards to make up for the rest of us?
 
Bernanke is a tool. As an ex-mortgage person I've hated him for long long time.
 
Keynesian tool

Don't we already have enough credit and debt? Why do we have to have EVEN MORE credit and debt and put much more of our purchases on credit?

Oh, and get a load of this drivel!:

Just when is saving and thrift a cause of recession? Just when is not spending so much and overextending your debt a cause of recession?
Just how will savings and not overspending into debt make recessions "worse" or even "terminal"?
What's so bad about SAVING money and paying everything with cash? What's so bad about not rushing out and buying Chinese-made junk at Wal-Mart at every opportunity and putting it all on credit?

If we slow down, the bus will blow up! We have to defuse the bomb before we can slow down!

Ok, so there's a slight problem that nobody on the bus knows how to defuse the bomb. So just never stop. Push it until we run out of gas. After that, anything goes.

Most of the rats will jump ship. They need to buy time.

Perfect metaphor. And, just as in the movie you refer to, no one who isn't on the bus knows how to defuse it either. We just know how to defend our own asse(t)s and when to get the hell out.
