USA - In a surprisingly candid admission, two former Federal Reserve chairs have stated that the Federal Reserve alone is responsible for creating all recessions in the United States. First, former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke said that “Expansions don’t die of old age. They get murdered.” To clarify this statement, former Chair Janet Yellen placed the murder weapon in the Fed’s hands: “Two things usually end them…. One is financial imbalances, and the other is the Fed.” Think that through, and you quickly realize that both of those things are the Fed. Is there anyone left standing who would not say the Fed’s quantitative easing in the past decade was the biggest cause of financial imbalances all over the world in history? Moreover, whose profligate monetary policies led to the Great Financial Crisis that gave us the Great Recession?
