Bernake-Bush bail-out of rash lenders
may turn dollar into monopoly money

“We’ll throw billions ... tens of billions ... even hundreds of billions of newly-printed paper dollars at this crisis if that’s what it takes to bail out irresponsible borrowers and lenders.” — MDW translation of Bushspeak.

It’s hitting the fan just like we warned it would.

After pouring tens of billions directly into the mortgage markets and then slashing the Fed’s discount rate in August, the Bush administration launched an all-out assault on the rapidly spreading housing and mortgage catastrophe last Friday.

First, President Bush announced that Washington is about to throw yet more money at the credit crunch with massive spending initiatives to help at-risk mortgage holders keep their homes.

Soon after, in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Bush’s hand-picked Fed Chief, Ben Bernanke, said in public what he’s only been admitting to congressmen behind closed doors: That the Fed will do whatever it takes to bail out failing financial institutions.

English translation:

Fed Chairman Bernanke — kicking the printing presses into Overdrive!

Fed Chairman Bernanke — kicking the printing presses into Overdrive!

“We’ll throw billions ... tens of billions ... even hundreds of billions of newly-printed paper dollars at this crisis if that’s what it takes to bail out irresponsible borrowers and lenders.”

Does Bernanke know what that means? Does he understand that every new paper dollar he throws into the economy reduces the value of every other dollar in circulation?

Does he know that by devaluing the dollar he is, in effect, robbing you of purchasing power and making every investment you own worth less?

Look: Bernanke graduated from Harvard summa cum laude with a B.A. in economics. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.). And before he joined the Fed, Bernanke was Professor and Chair of the Economics Department at Princeton.

Of course he understands the basics of supply and demand! Of course he knows that by throwing billions of unbacked paper dollars at the credit crunch, he’s devaluing the U.S. dollar!

But does he care that he’s destroying your buying power, the value of your investments and putting your retirement at risk?

Maybe, maybe not. But one thing is for sure: Both Bush and Bernanke are far more terrified of what will happen if they do not avert the vicious cycle of home price declines and foreclosures now sweeping across the country. That’s why we have come to such a critical crossroads for every single financial decision you could possibly make.
