Doing a great job Bernanke!

April 30th 2011 15:07
On Wednesday the Federal Reserve ended a 2 day meeting with Ben Bernanke giving the first ever press conference. He was quite sure of himself as he announced that his policies will continue, as they are definitley working. Two days later we learn that unemployment is on the uptick, inflation is surging and gasoline prices are approaching $5 a gallon.That's what I call a real successful policy. The only people benefiting from his policies are the stock markets and shareholders. It's time the government stops keeping the banks and big corporations on the public dole. It's time to retrain the unemployed workforce.Many of the unemployed lost their jobs because their jobs were sent overseas to be done at a much cheaper cost. Profits are the bottom line of the stock market. The livelihood of the American worker doesn't matter. Only profits do. Corporations may have an obligation to their shareholders, but they also have a moral obligation to their employees. Instead of throwing them under the bus, use some of your profits to give them new skills and a chance to provide for themselves and their families.

Perhaps the bottom line of the problem is the failure of the system as a whole: Capitalism only benefits a minority; whereas socialism benefits the community in a more holistic manner. Look at Norway for instance, it's a very expensive club to be a member of, but the benefits are enormous to the individual citizen and their anticipated lifespan far exceeds that of the United States. That surely is the real bottom line?

Yes I agree with you. People in the US constantly complain about taxes, but expect to be taken care of. In Norway, Sweden etc. the taxes are high, but they don't have to worry about retirement, healthcare, childcare and not making ends meet. The countries of the developing world are aspiring to immediate gratification, wealth, instead of looking at the future. Greed drives them and they will climb all over each other, their less fortunate neighbors, to get to the top. Sounds so familiar.
