"Fewer Americans applauding Fed’s performance, poll suggests" by Jeannine Aversa, Associated Press | July 28, 2009
WASHINGTON - The share of Americans who think the Federal Reserve is doing an excellent or good job has sunk, despite chairman Ben Bernanke’s having taken unprecedented steps to try to prevent financial catastrophe, according to a poll released yesterday.
I'm sick of the insults! Yeah, Bennie the savior!
Yup, the poor, poor, unappreciated Fed.
Many analysts credit Bernanke’s unconventional approach with averting disaster last year. But his support for bailouts of big financial firms, such as the insurance giant American International Group, upset the public and many lawmakers.
A Gallup poll conducted in mid-July found that 30 percent of respondents rated the Fed as doing an “excellent/good’’ job. That was down sharply from the 53 percent who thought the Fed was doing an excellent to good job in a survey in 2003, when then-Fed chief Alan Greenspan was steering a fragile economy back from the 2001 recession, terror attacks, and corporate accounting scandals.
The poll asked about nine government agencies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention topped the list, with 61 percent of respondents rating that agency excellent to good. NASA and the FBI tied for second place at 58 percent each.
So they are going to use the Swine Flu to advance their globalist plot then, huh? Because we allegedly "trust" them?
The CIA, Department of Homeland Security, Environmental Protection Agency, Internal Revenue Service, and Food and Drug Administration all earned scores higher than the Fed’s.
Translation: PEOPLE KNOW who is at the ROOT of ALL THEIR PROBLEMS!!!!!
The results come at a delicate time for Bernanke. His term expires early next year, and President Obama will have to decide whether to reappoint him to a four-year term. And lawmakers are wary of expanding the Fed’s powers - as envisioned by the Obama administration - given the failure of the Fed and other regulators to detect problems that led to the financial crisis. The administration wants the Fed to police big financial companies whose failure could endanger the entire economy. Despite efforts to be more open, the Fed has built a reputation as one of Washington’s most esoteric institutions.
Yeah, that's why they have THREATENED to WRECK the economy if the PRIVATE INSTITUTION is AUDITED by CONGRESS!!!
“To many, the Federal Reserve is just a mysterious entity,’’ said Richard Yamarone, an economist at Argus Research. Also yesterday, the Fed said it is reaching out to Americans....
Oh, the Fed wants to love us now? I guess you would love someone who let you loot them for $24 TRILLION dollars!
Hell, they are BACK for MORE!!!!
