House Financial Services Committee, March 24, 2009 We have parts of our system which are overwhelmed by regulation. It wasn't the absence of regulation that was the problem. It was despite the presence of regulation you got huge risks built up. House Financial Services Committee, March 26, 2009 Hyperinflation is not going to happen in this country, will never happen... The Fed putting so much money into the system is not going to create the risk of hyperinflation in the future. We have a strong independent Federal Reserve with a very strong mandate from the Congress, and they will do what's necessary to keep inflation low and stable over time. This Week with George Stephanopoulos, March 29, 2009 We believe in a strong dollar … Chinese financial assets are very safe. Peking University, May 31, 2009 I believe deeply that it's very important to the United States, to the economic health of the United States, that we maintain a strong dollar. Meeting with Japanese reporters at the U.S. embassy, November 11, 2009 About So I think the reason that the newspapers are going quiet on this is the Fed broke the law. And it wants to continue breaking the law. And that's why these Wall Street banks fought so hard to get the current head of the Fed reappointed, [Jerome] Powell, because they know that he's going to do what [Timothy] Geithner did under the Obama administration. He's loyal to the New York City banks, and he's willing to sacrifice the economy to help the banks.
