[DFF]

That's right folks, it's that time again - Helicopter Keynesian God Ben Vs the Ron Austrian Titan Paul.

I predict Ben leaves with his head down in shame, and RP smacks Barney Frank across the face.....Well maybe just the first part.

I think Dr. Paul needs to ask questions rather than making speeches. If he can get Bernanke uncomfortable and maybe say the wrong things, it's much better than another YouTube video of Ron stubbling through a 4 minute speech with a 10 second question that Bernanke will ignore anyways since his time is up.

Can't wait to see Ben get put in his place again.

i agree. of course, if Ron asks a question off the top, it may give Captain Credit a chance to ramble on for 5 minutes of Ron's time. I hope the good Dr. drops some of his politeness and interupts Ben: "That's bullshit, Mr. Bernanke. Are you really that fucking dumb?"

Looking forward to it. He really should just fire off a lot of quick zingers instead of giving a long-winded speech.

Hells yeah.

THAT might actually start the revolution.

Get fcked. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Ron's presentations are immaculate. Ron doesn't stumble. How about you produce something to give credence to your baseless claim.

I hope he does, what he has always done. A 3 minute seminar in Economic logic, a pre-cursor to his question, his question, all intertwined as a verbal smackdown on the status quo and interventionist idiocy.

Game over, Bernanke lost. And Ron ends up getting Bernanke to admit inflation is a hidden tax etc.

And he should interrupt him (but he won't because he's RP) and re-ask the question when he evades answers like all the other congressmen do.

This was brought up to Paul and he basically said they don't answer the question anyways, so while he has the platform he can make a statement and actually get something out of the exchange.

If this is true, thanks for the insight. I would tend to agree with Paul in this situation, but if I was there, I would ask the hard question and then call him out for evading the question sometimes, maybe not all the time.

I hope for a perfect exchange which ends with

RP: Do you admit this is the thruth?
BB: Well, ... yes.
RP: Then why do we need the Fed in the first place?
BB: Congressman, this is not the subject of the hearing.
RP: Can't you answer the question?
Frank: Chairman, just answer the question.
BB: I want to go to my mommy!
