In the past, I’ve shared Federal Reserve humor, including this special Fed toilet paper, Ben Bernanke’s hacked Facebook page, the Bernanke-who-stole-Christmas image, a t-shirt celebrating the Fed Chairman, and the famous “Ben Bernank” video.
But this film from Bernanke’s childhood years may be the best of all of them. It is a good symbol of how he learned to conduct monetary policy.
Though, to be fair, it is theoretically possible that the Fed Chairman’s monetary easing is simply the well-timed provision of liquidity and he will soak up all the extra money at precisely the right moment.
But I’m skeptical, as you can see here, here, and here.
The real problem, though, is that we’ve given government a monopoly over money. This video is a good introduction to how governments replaced market-based money with central banking.

This is not actually true….
The real problem is that we have given the Federal Reserve, a non governmental, private closed corporation, complete control of our money supply and also the total control of all bonds…..
THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!

Isn’t that shadow in the background an infant future Dr. Krugman egging little Ben on?
Hilarious! Republished your .gif in a blog post (giving you full credit, of course) and recommended you for a Pulitzer.
Upon seeing the animated GIF play, I burst out laughing so hard I startled my pet cockatiel.
Remember when we thought Alan Greenspan was bad? Hah!

Reblogged this on Constitutional Free America.
I watched your video on the basic of the Central Bank. And this brought to mind JFK’s attempt (Executive Order 11110) to limit the Fed and create money backed by silver. http://www.john-f-kennedy.net/thefederalreserve.htm . If Kennedy’s Executive Order was enforced, would our financial condition improve? And why has the Order not been enforced in the last 50 years? I guess Executive Orders don’t have the force of law but somewhere it must say that only the Government can print money.
I like your posts and read them daily.

Glide, Oregon – wherever that is. Hint – it is not on the East Coast.
PS: I really would like the Navy to continue sending checks. I must be part of the problem. However, I also remember being paid $84.00 per month and a promise.
But you’ve got to admit, who wouldn’t want to standing down below that window to catch all that money. I mean, Hey! Free Money! (You just need to hurry up and spend it all before inflation kicks in)
Any videos of a young Mario Draghi?
