The Ben Bernank... love it;) I wish the video creator had continued to make more videos that followed along with each Fed induced economic blunder. Could’a had quite the series
This is one of the all-time great videos on TH-cam....a Hall of Famer. GREAT job on this. I LOVE how you nail "the Goldman Sachs" over and over, and very rightly so.
Finally some useful information put in layman's terms that can actually educate people instead of creating straw man arguments that just want to denounce another party. A breath of fresh air!
It shouldn't be required for anyone. It's humorous, but that's it. I'm guessing not one person involved with the video has even heard of Triffin, much less understands how the Triffin Paradox and the US drastically cutting the deficit under Clinton played a major role in the trade of derivatives.

I commend the author for simplicity and clarity. Another great video is WHY WE ARE IN SO MUCH DEBT. It goes to the root cause by explaining how the monetary system enriches and empowers Wall Street by stealing our individual prosperity.
I favorited this back when it was around 500,000 views. Everything is absolutely true in this video. Beware those who try to debunk it with complication. Facts are very easy things to comprehend, they will try to convince you that you are never smart enough to understand the very obvious.
I have a dear friend from Argentina, a country which basically could not have had more incompetent monetary policy, from the ill-fated dollar peg, hyper-inflation in the 80s. Yet despite it all, the country moves forward. My friend calls it "riding the bike." I don't doubt the kind of damage that could be caused if Ron Paul got his way and ended the FED. But at the same time, the economy is resilient enough to adapt to this highly improbable scenario. Life goes on my friend. C'est la vie.
@@djmars1983 the whole so called recovery was completely artificial and due to central banks creating money. If it was healthy interest rates would have been at normal rates years ago. Worse new problems like too many companies buying back stock will be compounded as they borrowed money to buyback stock.
@@ninjamaster3453 , we can't have normal rates because the debt is too high now. A 5.2% yield on the 10 yr bond would put us in default. 4% is the tipping point. That's why every time yields get over 3% they are knocked down. We'll never see even 3.5%. Ever. Guaranteed. A former Fed guy detailed it all in a very lengthy report. Those aren't my numbers, they're his. I believe his name is Fred Mishken. Might be able to find the report online if interested.
Great presentation of the history of the Fed and its actual role in the U.S. I'll gladly share this in my circle. Only one critique, I agree with Darvinisti that I would prefer human voices, and, although I don't mind animation, I would prefer it to be a little less cute. But the dialogue is fantastic and very engaging, with the characters asking real questions and providing engaging answers. Thank you, and I'll be sure to check out the rest of your series!
agree, good script, execution could be better, but ok; the message is there, now all we need are another 300 million people to actually watch this ... damn, there goes my hope ...
Yeah... I want to feel nostalgia from this 10+ year old video, but that nostalgia is outweighed by the fact that the video's message has held up so well. :/
its a great clip, but just to be accurate. I love deflation, but in current so-called economic system deflation increases debt:currency ratio, making it harder for population to deal with loan payments (less currency to pay more debt). So this system is constructed to force governments to have inflation. (expansion of money supply - commercial credit is collapsing, thats why they print money at 0% not allow to debt:currency ratio to increase) This system should not be called economy, but legalized theft and slavery system. Under it, governments cannot stop printing money, even if they wanted to, (or they have complete stagnation like japan in 1990-2010) without huge financial reform.
Pablo Malaga LOL, the video is complete bulshit but given the average intellectual capacity of people I’m not surprised so many ‘geniuses’ like it. I hope you don’t trade it coz you would have lost loads of money
"The Ben Bernank" LOL. This is all so sad but true, how did the Fed get away with this, without any of us idiots realising or doing anything about it???!
Putting it into the mouths of two perfectly static cartoon characters and disguising it as a conversation sure made this monologue more entertaining and credible.
+James Exactly. The Fed "pays' for the bonds it buys with a check drawn on a non-existent account/ written on money IT DOESN'T"T HAVE. That's the scary part because that's the EXACT THING which transpires. It's all just 1's and 0's and the banking system is now free to further debase our money and steal our purchasing power. They aren't literally printing money (not technically, but effectively that's the concept b/c it increases the monetary base, but necessarily the money supply---it depends on whether the banks loan out the new reserves or just sit on them and earn Fed-payed interest. Although back when this video was posted I'm not sure if the Fed was paying interest on reserves yet??......I digress...)
There needs to be a sequel...we're on round 5, featuring the Janet Yellen, who received $810,000 to Give Speeches at One of the Firms in the GameStop Mess. Who does she have pictures of?
The big issue I see with QE as Richard Koo (Economist) correctly points out that whilst QE is trying to encourage banks to loan... The everyday businesses and households stop borrowing money in order to pay off their debt. It happened in Japan whereby there was money to be borrowed but they just wanted to pay off their debts even at 0% interest rate. In that case the government needs to borrow money to keep the economy stable until such time businesses and households start borrowing again which is when the government can start paying off their debt. Basically QE doesn't work but yet they keep doing more and more of it causing a huge problem in the long term and now it's doing nothing in the short term. They have so much money in reserves that when they start borrowing again, interest rates will sky rocket.
It has been 9 years since I saw this youtube. Today it occurred to me that in 2008 "Debt" was generally seen as the villain. In 2020 "Debt" has now been broadly cast as the hero as people around the world seem to have gone beyond patience and into a passion for QE. Had to just see if this TH-cam was still accessible. What we are going to see now will make the past look very moderate.
Quantitative easing is creating the worst bubble of all....the currency bubble of the American Dollar. This means our money, when the bubble breaks, will be worth nothing. Cents on the dollar.
Daniel Stewart I don't think he was saying it wasn't going to work; of course printing money will solve any debt. But his argument was whether it is a good idea or not, which is highly debatable. Let's say all student debts are wiped clean without fixing the real problem which is the school pricing itself. Are we then going to do this again in 10 years time? 20 years time? 30 years time? Why do you, or all students in debt now, get to be the lucky ones who have their debt wiped... Jill Stein is promising a magical fix for a problem that's much more complex.
Wiping out the student debt, coupled with making public college free was what Jill was proposing. The "lucky" folks who would not have to worry about being thrown into debtor's prison because of their massive student debt is actually a plus economically and morally. It's not like credit card debt where it's totally avoidable. Many jobs (especially STEM fields) require college degrees and college is ludicrously expensive. I was lucky enough to be born in a family that could afford to send me to college. What Jill was saying was that we jump to bailout the big banks when they screw up the economy but we can't do the same for our own citizens that are just trying to make a better life for themselves.
In QE3 they are buying mortgage backed securities. None of this money can hit the market until home prices rise. Why make a video explaining something you don't understand?
5 years later, we are at QE4 now. Most of the MBS they bought back then were toilet paper, underwater mortgages toxic to the banks and Fannie and Freddie holding them, and they bought them for 100%, using pu Certainly not private home ownership rates.
The US. dollar is backed by the policy of inflation exportation and petrodollar. US. has free hand to print basically any amount of dollars - at expense of other nations that trade oil in dollar. 87% of all global transactions are made in US. dollar.
All base money (save coins) is "printed" by the government. Remember that every dollar the government creates and spends into the economy is accounted for. So when the government creates and spends $1, the government accounts for that spending as a -$1. The private sector, where the money is spent goes +$1. We refer to this as deficit spending, but that's looking at it only from the government side. From the private sector side, it could be called surplus spending, because when the government goes into deficit, the private sector gains the dollars spent. I'd be happy to explain anything you want to know. Here are a few things that may surprise you.... Taxes and bonds don't pay for government spending. They have a purpose, it's just that paying for spending isn't one of them. Banks don't loan other customers deposits (they create money out of thin air) The US government can never, ever, ever go bankrupt, well, unless it chooses to. Printing money doesn't always cause inflation. Quantitative easing doesn't add a single dollar to the US economy Ask me whatever you want. If you're interested I can help you understand, but I want you to think about what I'm going to tell you like the red pill or the blue pill. I can only show you how things really work, no bullshit conspiracy theories. -Cheers
alueshen Printing of money a.k.a the money issuence right is another way to tax you via inflationary hidden tax. In fact it will transfer wealth from ANY entity that currently possesses that currency to the inflator. Due to fact that overall mass of money becomes diluted with the "fresh money". The real sector of Economy has then to regain the lost value by hard labour and production of goods. In essence it is stealing AND forcing you (Anyone or any entity that possesses the currency) to work harder - and regain the value. That is of course ontop of the regular transparent taxes. Also transferred wealth has no "national boundaries" it has no allocation, and there is no responsibility of its usage. I suggest anyone should boycot the dollar-system while sinking ship is still afloat. But more important is to spread awareness that it is economic colonialism and imperialism that is imposed on you via dollar-system essentially making you work harder or else. It is just a substitution for traditional slavery. You work - while we steal your labour - concept. This modern slavery is absurd, people cannot understand it. Therefore its not going to end enytime soon. In Rome, they would dilute the gold coins with 10% copper then 50% then 80% to steal from population and pay for war effort. USA's scheme is the same.
So sweet! It's a radical point of view... My son showed me as he was doing a research for the school on QE. But I think the bears are right and maybe our classical view is wrong. Great video! Thank you for posting! Kids love it!
I didn't assume anything about you, I was just explaining my first comment: pejoratively dismissing a system because it is unintuitive is exactly what this video is doing, and they shouldn't. But I'm glad the issue is resolved. Here on youtube, lack of nuance is often just to save space, not because of short-sightedness.

“Biden announces $6 Trillion stimulus package”

"about a year ago!!!"
beat drops*
year ago, year ago!!
In QE3 they are buying mortgage backed securities. None of this money can hit the market until home prices rise.
Why make a video explaining something you don't understand?
Is that somehow better? And more important: Is that refute the whole argument? No? So it was just a minor mistake.
5 years later, we are at QE4 now. Most of the MBS they bought back then were toilet paper, underwater mortgages toxic to the banks and Fannie and Freddie holding them, and they bought them for 100%, using pu Certainly not private home ownership rates.
I almost changed it because of the robot voices... but.... it made it better. This was a very funny video. Great job!
Nothing has changed.

"....a year ago, ....a year ago, ....a year ago." I wonder, if Shmurda was inspired by this video.
Just heard an excerpt of this in the Freakonomics podcast with The Ben Bern-Nank and came here for the full story.
how is quantitative easing legal? isnt it printing money from nothing?
The US. dollar is backed by the policy of inflation exportation and petrodollar. US. has free hand to print basically any amount of dollars - at expense of other nations that trade oil in dollar. 87% of all global transactions are made in US. dollar.
it is illegal for us plebians, but not for our overlords
+Funkin where does that printed money go to and who decides where it is assigned to?
All base money (save coins) is "printed" by the government. Remember that every dollar the government creates and spends into the economy is accounted for. So when the government creates and spends $1, the government accounts for that spending as a -$1. The private sector, where the money is spent goes +$1.
We refer to this as deficit spending, but that's looking at it only from the government side. From the private sector side, it could be called surplus spending, because when the government goes into deficit, the private sector gains the dollars spent.
I'd be happy to explain anything you want to know. Here are a few things that may surprise you....
Taxes and bonds don't pay for government spending. They have a purpose, it's just that paying for spending isn't one of them.
Banks don't loan other customers deposits (they create money out of thin air)
The US government can never, ever, ever go bankrupt, well, unless it chooses to.
Printing money doesn't always cause inflation.
Quantitative easing doesn't add a single dollar to the US economy
Ask me whatever you want. If you're interested I can help you understand, but I want you to think about what I'm going to tell you like the red pill or the blue pill. I can only show you how things really work, no bullshit conspiracy theories.

alueshen Printing of money a.k.a the money issuence right is another way to tax you via inflationary hidden tax. In fact it will transfer wealth from ANY entity that currently possesses that currency to the inflator. Due to fact that overall mass of money becomes diluted with the "fresh money". The real sector of Economy has then to regain the lost value by hard labour and production of goods. In essence it is stealing AND forcing you (Anyone or any entity that possesses the currency) to work harder - and regain the value. That is of course ontop of the regular transparent taxes. Also transferred wealth has no "national boundaries" it has no allocation, and there is no responsibility of its usage. I suggest anyone should boycot the dollar-system while sinking ship is still afloat. But more important is to spread awareness that it is economic colonialism and imperialism that is imposed on you via dollar-system essentially making you work harder or else. It is just a substitution for traditional slavery. You work - while we steal your labour - concept.
This modern slavery is absurd, people cannot understand it. Therefore its not going to end enytime soon.
In Rome, they would dilute the gold coins with 10% copper then 50% then 80% to steal from population and pay for war effort. USA's scheme is the same.
Awfully spot on.
Time to short the banks & buy Bitcoin 👌
“Is this an episode of the twilight zone” sameeee
So sweet! It's a radical point of view... My son showed me as he was doing a research for the school on QE. But I think the bears are right and maybe our classical view is wrong. Great video! Thank you for posting! Kids love it!
Holy fuck 2020 it’s happening again!
This is hilarious. Thanks for posting.
who else is watching in 2022?
The gift that keeps on giving. Referring both this video and the Fed 's ability to keep printing more mone...I mean qualitative easing.
Omg this is amazing
who's watching this now with this 1.5T bump?
Douglas Kim bruh same it literally got eaten up in hours
1. These bears are the minority.
2. the entire rest of the country are the majority.
I didn't assume anything about you, I was just explaining my first comment: pejoratively dismissing a system because it is unintuitive is exactly what this video is doing, and they shouldn't. But I'm glad the issue is resolved. Here on youtube, lack of nuance is often just to save space, not because of short-sightedness.
