The analytical program "However," with Mikhail Leontyev, October 06 2011

The world economy is popping like Trishkin caftan. While Greece is begging for help from the European Union, Moody's downgrades Italy’s sovereign rating, America demonstrates record unemployment, and stock markets are falling across the globe — at this moment the main world regulator and full-time savior, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gives a speech. This is the most outstanding speech for the whole centenary. history Federal Reserve, since its inception.

“Those responsible for US fiscal policy,” Bernanke said, “have 4’s main objectives. First: achieving long-term fiscal stability. The key step here is reducing budget deficits. The second task is to avoid steps that could harm growth "The third goal is to ensure sustainable growth in the long term. And the fourth goal is to change the mechanism for making budget decisions so that it guarantees predictability and transparency." Bernanke completed the presentation, saying that monetary policy is, of course, a powerful tool, but it is not a panacea for solving the problems facing the economy: "Growth promotion is in the common responsibility of all decision-makers."

We translate this surrealistic speech into Russian. The first task is to reduce costs. The second task is not to reduce costs. The third task is to ensure growth, for which it is impossible to reduce costs. The fourth task is to reduce costs in order to ensure predictability. And, most importantly, the fifth - I am not a panacea for you here, but all those responsible for being responsible are responsible. Get away from me and you would all go. Well, at least in the White House and the Ministry of Finance.

That is, Bernanke, began, slowly, to tell the truth. What does it mean? This means that the problems of the American, that is, the global economy - today this is the same thing - are unsolvable in principle. That is, it's time to call for accountability. That is, look for the extreme. Democrats shove with Republicans. Then they immediately find the Chinese, who, they say, by their imports deprive America of jobs. And then the last one was found. Himself. And exactly where Bernanke sent.

In an interview with ABC-news, President Obama answered the question whether he was ready to become a president of one term: “In such an economic situation, it’s difficult to count on more. It doesn’t bother me that people consider me a loser. I got used to it.”

This one is clearly not a wolf. Rather, the scapegoat. As many expected beforehand. Well, isn’t Bernanke responsible with the Wall Street banks, really ?! They already have an extreme. Specially trained. And why should we listen to all this anti-crisis chatter? That is, no one will give us deliverance - neither Bernanke nor Obama. It will be necessary to save ourselves when an unfavorable, as they say, external conjuncture.

There is no crisis in the world, the United States has become profitable crisis and as it was said they will find extreme

[danilatrg]

There is a crisis, there is :) It’s time for the guys to live by the bills, it used to be possible to travel due to the image of the planet’s master, but now they demand debts from the owner. Western time to repay debts. Unfortunately, it will not be good for us either. And who is extreme - it doesn’t matter, these are trifles.

[Motherland]

We may also become extreme ... But the time for the USA to give it away is there still no country, empire, etc. that would always be the strongest sooner or later even the most powerful empire will fall. So the USA is already in the near future time themselves they will eat it personally for me is very good news, but someone will have to stand in their place and there will be a fight for this place, and the United States will also try to give a shit to the whole world before leaving and drag more countries behind. great multitude

America is an abscess on the body of our planet and soon this abscess will burst.

[zczczc]

When will our stabilization fund be taken back !? Either horns and legs will remain from him (dollar devaluation), or they simply will not give him up.

[sirToad]

But does he exist in nature? curly-haired a couple of years ago gurgled that there was already nothing left of him.

Starikov (probably read) the stabilization fund in American papers is explained as a "tribute" to defeated Russia to the pendos - the winners. I largely agree - they won ideologically - 30% of our population are loyal to the United States, 20% are probably scumbags of the Nazis (like ours on the website) who prevent the revival of the empire, 20% feed on the oligarchs - they are part of their "families" in their companies - good settled down

And no one cares about 20-30% of Russian people who have fallen into the guise "without guilt"

The revival of the Union - strong enough to throw off the "yoke" will free us from tribute - we will stop feeding the "masters of the world"

[sirToad]

Well, I don’t think that we have 20% of Natsiks ... I’m probably not talking to those .. and about 20% of those who feed from oligarchs ... maybe in Moscow I don’t know. our alignment will be somewhat different. although the mood in people is hopeless. complete. recently, they were gathering with peasants - all those who were under the epaulettes - we think - we need an organization. but where to get the leader, so that to move him without a doubt?

[Marat]

I agree with sirToad! And those and others less than 20% - will be
We have Natsiks probably 5-6 percent - and in Russia, maybe a maximum of 10% ?? (here on the site there may be 4-5 frank people - and many are simply "honestly mistaken" yet)

But people on the verge of poverty may be more - Kara Murza has calculations - you need to look

As for the stabilization fund, I agree - this is a tribute that the defeated Country (and all its parts who have money - that is, Russia and Kazakhstan) pays to the winner - also read from Starikov

Here it must be added that under Yeltsin there was no fund but there were debts - all petrodollars were immediately taken away by oligarchs - no Rosneft Gazprom Rosoboronexport, etc. - I know that this idea is unpopular and my fellow communists will not support me here - but all these state-owned companies - islands of socialism appeared under Putin and the Stabilization Fund appeared as this money stopped flowing and the debt paid. No, I’m not an edros - but I must admit that some part of the oil and gas dollars is distributed correctly both with you and with us

Another thing is that Putin, as a representative of their government, will not go on to continue nationalization - he stopped in the middle - improved just enough so as not to "die" - and will not go further - and I share the widespread point of view that Russia (I mean the Union - all of us) " doomed "to socialism because of the climate and geography (Parshev Kara Murza - the same Starikov) Communists need to" exploit "this topic

[escobar]

The USA is a global MMM, and no one will ever get any debts from it. I think the Pindos have already developed their unique plan for the most painless way out of this situation. They have already eaten the fish, we will observe a landing on an eroded item. If the amers do not prematurely land the rest of the world to this very place in a famous proverb ...

[spirit]

Yes!! 300 Spartans Greece is no longer extended))))
