Dylan Ratigan Mad as Hell His Epic Network Moment We've got a real problem...this is a mathematical fact. Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America.
Putting Our Money Where Our Mouth Is After 780 hours of political cable news, 6000 hours of live financial television, 45 cities, 2 national jobs tours, 277,963 signatures to amend The Constitution, 245 pages of book and a promotion tour for Greedy Bastards, I was exhausted.
Im Mad As Hell How About You Yesterday, on TV, I exploded. I spent two minutes giving a primal yell at our political system, demanding the extraction of our money and dignity end. It was my most heartfelt and emotional moment on television, ever.

When are you going to commit Seppuku?
(Seriously: Virtually every prediction you've made about the economy over the four years prior to the collapse was wrong. Why should anyone take you seriously when you claim to be able to get THIS right – THIS time – when you have an unbroken record of NEVER getting it right?)
Ask why he says the Fed isn't monetizing debt when it certainly is.
How come you and many others who created this mess, are not in jail and in many cases, were appointed to work or continue to work for our government?
Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither.
Do you agree with this statement?;
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.
Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed)
3rd president of US (1743 – 1826)
Someone should ask, "Why do you continue to say the Fed is not monetizing debt, when it clearly is monetizing debt and devaluing the US dollar?"
Why should the Fed and banks have a monopoly on money creation in this country?
Do you think it is still appropriate to pay banks interest for EXCESS reserves? Not required reserves, but excess reserves. What do you think the fairness implications are with paying banks 0.25% on excess reserves in a ZIRP policy environments, when credit still being very tight for the private sector?
What roles do you believe the extraordinary monetary stim from ZIRP and QE and other programs in creating asset price increases? Do you believe this is counter-productive considering that wages and employment continue to stagnate?
dont have a twitter account but how about: when housing is the largest expense for the majority of americans (40% rent, 20% have no equity and probably much more have next to no equity and would benefit if housing fell dramatically) why do you consider the cost of housing falling to be a negative? wouldn't this benefit most americans? yet its your stated goal to keep that cost elevated. i'm sure the truthful response would be something like i work for the banks and not the average american citizen.
Considering how high gold and silver prices have gone lately, and the increased demands for physical gold and silver, it appears like a significant number of people are seriously contemplating the idea of abandoning all currencies as their preferred store of value, and substituting with precious metals. What would the Fed do if this trend intensifies, and at some point some participants in international trade demand payment in gold or silver instead of dollars or other currency?
The Federal Reserve has a history of allowing unemployment to rise in order to theoretically lower the cost of labor and spur investment. Critics have argued that the Fed has ignored unemployment recently, in direct conflict with its stated role to limit unemployment. What would you say to these accusations? Why haven’t we seen significant improvement in employment recently?
We owe the deficit to The Fed. Who owns the Fed? It is a group of private banks. Are these the owners?
If not what role do they play at The Fed?
