Rampage Rick: You Have to Watch CNBC’s Santelli’s Epic Anti-Fed, Anti-Washington, Anti-Easy Money Rant

Dec. 27, 2012 4:59pm Becket Adams

CNBC’s Rick Santelli (i.e. the original “Tea Partier”) has long been a critic of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and is a staunch opponent of runaway government spending. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he gets really, awfully, terribly upset when people talk about the U.S.’ economic future and fail to factor in Fed policy.

“Why do we look at the Dow Jones industrial average to handicap if this country’s going to go down the sewer in a couple of days?” Santelli shouted at trader Jim Iuorio during a discussion on the impending “fiscal cliff.” “We can’t afford our bills anymore!”

“The stock market is an immediate gratification for investors to make money. I don’t have a problem with it, but it doesn’t give you a glimpse into our future, or our kids’ future,” he added.

Santelli continued, turning his attention to the Fed’s inability to spend within its means.

“The fact that we have $100 trillion dollars of underfunded liability, it isn’t a question whether that’s going to work!” Santelli said.

“If you can tease out the fact that the Fed has by throwing in all of this money over the last several of years and that’s a difficult thing to do,” Iuorio said.

“The Fed doesn’t have a clue! Neither does the president and neither does Congress!” Santelli shot back.

“The stock market takes all the news stories and filters them for us,” Iuorio added.

Santelli went on to accuse U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner of being less-than-honest with the American people about the current state of the nation’s finances.

“[Geithner] gives a speech about hitting the debt ceiling? I’d like to see if he can even count to a million much less $16.4 trillion!” the fiery analyst shouted, referring to the national debt.

  What the left doesn’t realize (yet) is that the promises of big government never come to pass as the true powers that be continue their deliberate economic deconstruction of America and her sovereignty.
  
  The current generation of liberals will never ‘connect the dots’ that their own votes and ideology allowed this to happen. To their last breath, they will blame those who oppose their worldviews for all the horrible outcomes that have begun to rain down on this country.
  
  But the next generation, the one that will have to go without, they will figure it out quickly while living most of their lives as peasantry under some form of communism and dictatorship.

That other guy (Jim?) is one reason why I stopped watching CNBC. If the stock market is an accurate barometer of the economy, then we should all be millionaires by now! Joe Kernan, the host in this exchange, is another reason I stopped. I once wrote him an email after a particularly disgusting exchange, threatening to stop watching CNBC. I was surprised when Kernan wrote me back and said to “feel free to leave”. I did, and haven’t watched CNBC since. That was nearly 4 years ago. Good riddance!

  This is another example of people who had 10 seconds of fame yelling on t.v. and now must keep doing it to get ratings. Seem familiar? Glen Beck.
  
  Just like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, They fake this outrage to keep you hooked. It’s like a nice rock and roll song. sucks you in with the melody and keeps you listening when the music gets loud and the screams begin a’la Nirvana or the Beatles.
  
  Or televangelists like Jimmy Swagart or Benny Hinn. Its a racket sheeple wake up.

  It’s a sad reflection on the state of the country when angry yelling is taken for a substantive discussion of the issues we face. This is the “Hannity Effect” which you can read in my book of that same name coming out next month. Yelling and talking over people you’ve invited on your show replaces the intelligent discussion of ideas. The right embraces and glorifies that as “journalism” while the more intelligent see it base pandering to the prejudices of the uniformed and ignorant.
  
  That’s why we must all support education in this country. When the average citizen gets their science from Hannity and Rush, we might as well concede our position as the leaders of science in the world, and beg China to let us make cheap plastic crap they sell at Walmart.

It should b called the msnbc-CNN-huff po-ap theory… That one being f u disagree with them, and the bs they preach as truth, that I must somehow b racist.. U liberal are such a joke… Libertarians are scared were going bankrupt, and your saying they are just yelling at people????
  
  What about liberals whistleing past the debt graveyard??? Don’t they deserve to b yelled at…. And liberals should tell me why raising taxes and spending is going to fix a debt crises????

  Public Education is a socialist Ideology.
  
  People should home-school their children. They are being indoctrinated by the Global Elite.
  
  Yes, People should not get their science from Hannity and Rush.
  They should rely on someone more credible, like Al Gore (sarcasm followed by nausea).
  
  Can you be an individual or must you cling to a clan?
  I can be Liberal on some issues and Conservative on others. Can you not think outside of your Black and White box?
  
  Example.
  Guns rights: Extremely Conservative
  Gay’s Rights: Liberal
  The Constitution: Extremely Conservative
  Legalizing Drugs: Liberal
  and so on…
  
  The founding fathers hated democracy and so should the Minorities and Gays.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RewUP-Fdhqk
  
  Bush Jr. and Obama are cousins. You and most other people are being played like a fiddle.
  
  Both Maddow and Rush are clueless about politics or the global power struture.
  
  Here is a hint for the ignorant:
  
  “Behind the ostensible (visible) government sits enthroned an INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”
  ― Theodore Roosevelt

  Another stupid comment from you “That’s why we must all support education in this country. When the average citizen gets their science from Hannity and Rush, we might as well concede our position as the leaders of science in the world”
  
  For one, the average citizen in this country gets their science from our public education failure system. Only a small percentage of our nations listens to AM talk radio, and generally they are older.
  
  For some real facts on our education, check this out. In the 1950s, we ranked in the top of the world in education. When libs took out prayer, Bible, and replaced with humanism and evolution, we started to drop. Now 26 nations rank higher than us, and we are doing very poorly in math and science.
  
  When we read between the lines on your post, what you are really saying, is that you hate 1st amendment free speech, just as bad as you hate our right to keep keep and bear arms. You so much want communism to replace that constitution.
  
  The liberal morons like you only messed up our public education, they did not help it.
  
  Keep it real meatball, I am watching you.

  Bullkrap, Meteors. It is nonsense which passes as civil discourse that is most aggravating, and it is HEALTHY (and about damn time) to see people with the power of the mic telling it like it is in “somewhat” mainstream media, instead of the decades-old “white-washing” we’ve been getting, or the lying by omission we’ve been getting in support of Gaybama for the last five years.
  
  You’d be quite comfortable eating meadow-muffins served at a conference, if you were told it was a pile of facts? Or would you calmly sit their and say, “No thank you. I just ate.” If your arse were on fire, would you ask, “Would someone please pass me a glass of water?” Or would you agonize over the slow response to your predicament?
  
  Well, Meteor, our Country is on fire. Wake up!!!!

  @SendtheMeteors-Just look at what our education system has brought us. We have 535 highly educated, mostly lawyers, many Ivy Leagers, running this country into the ground.
  The smartest, most educated people went to Washington and developed a system to destroy this country, both parties, mortgaging our childrens/grand-childrens future for their own gratification.
  They gave themselves lavish healthcare and retirement packages after one term in office on our dime while allowing our pension and healthcare programs to go broke over the years failing to address for political reasons.
  They developed a law that destroyed the core of our housing and banking system all to continue to perpetuate this underclass mentality and their re-election.
  They go on vacation “fact finding” trips, or if the president just vacations and golf outings, on our dime, while most middle class americans cannot afford vacations.
  Yup, the highly educated have really done us well. I would suggest a few more community college educated, common sense, real world people are needed to replace all these Ivy League Lawyers.
  One question I have. If the country does default does this mean the lavish congressional pension plans go south? If so, maybe default ain’t so bad.

  The stock market is holding up because the Fed is creating $85 billion a month to prop up the banks, bonds and the stock market. The Fed is buying government debt that nobody else wants. The important story is ICE (Intercontinental Commodity Exchange) has purchased the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange).
  
  ICE is largely outside of US regulations and is largely responsible for the explosion of futures contracts that have turned the financial markets into a Casino. ICE will have access to internal trading information of the NYSE and will be able to manipulate the stock market and amplify the gains in the futures market.
  
  The plan is to create a trading frenzy by “hacking” some financial transactions. This will create a modern era “run on the banks” that worked so well in the 1930′s. The financial institutions that have a huge net outflow will be unable to get short-term credit except by the Federal Reserve devaluing the dollar. (The Fed created $16 trillion in off-the-books transactions sometime in 2008-2009.)
  
  Obama’s nominees for Federal Reserve Chairman and Treasury Secretary will be the patsies.

I keep seeing Ron Paul as the one we should have voted for because he wants to follow the US Constitution but yet he wanted to cut our Military back to bare bone levels an if Im not mistaken a Military an the post office are the two things the Constitution say the GOV must provide.
We must get rid of the Fed reserve an most of the dept of the Gov an return the power to the states where it belongs.
We must also stop sending our tax dollars as aid to people that would rather kill us than talk. We need to get this country back on its feet before we worry about other country’s.
We also need to tell the United Nations to get the Hell out of our country an stop supporting that worthless org.

Why do the Ronbots keep acting like he would have won if not for Mitt Romney? You like the dude, that is fine, but those of us that do not voted how we wanted. You have that right and so do we. Quit acting like it is our fault your guy lost. We could say the same thing to you. You have no guarantee Ron Paul would have won, even without the corrupt Chicago thugs and their dirty tactics. I agree with some of what Ron says but not everything. We are still in a free country and get to vote for who we want. Take your marbles and go home if you want or quit whining. Enough already!

  jemkallen DISSECTED…
  
  QUESTION:
  “Why do the Ronbots keep acting like he would have won if not for Mitt Romney?”
  ANSWER:
  Because he would have won if not for Romney (THE ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN PARTY).
  
  CORRECT:
  “You like the dude, that is fine, but those of us that do not voted how we wanted.”
  TRUTH:
  That’s why King Soetoro was “reelected.” He thanks you.
  
  HALF TRUTH:
  “You have that right and so do we.”
  WHOLE TRUTH:
  “We” have the “right,” but the leftist republican party CHEATED IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE WAY to successfully bury Ron Paul’s campaign, the voices of MILLIONS… and ultimately, reelected King Soetoro.
  
  REQUEST:
  “Quit acting like it is our fault your guy lost.”
  REQUEST DENIED:
  Ron Paul AND AMERICA lost because of Mitt Romney, the republican party, the republican media and “better evil” (evil) voters.
  
  FALSE:
  “We could say the same thing to you.”
  TRUTH:
  “We” (Ron Paul supporters) FOUGHT FOR A NATION. “Better evil” voters surrendered.
  
  HALF TRUTH:
  “You have no guarantee Ron Paul would have won”
  WHOLE TRUTH:
  Ron Paul had the enthusiasm, conservatism and diverse voting blocks. Romney WAS A GUARANTEED LOSER.
  
  DOUBTFUL:
  “I agree with some of what Ron says”
  
  INTENTIONALLY VAGUE:
  “but not everything.”
  
  ALINSKYITE SMEARING:
  “Take your marbles and go home if you want or quit whining.”
  
  REQUEST:
  “Enough already”
  REQUEST DENIED:
  NEVER! YOU reelected Obama, and America WILL NEVER FORGET 2012.

  Because it’s called “budgeting”. I know it’s a new term but say it with me…”Budgeting”. That is where you do something called “planning”. Like the states are supposed to do. See, most states keep a rainy day fund. In my state we have a hurricane fund. In a federal government you would want disaster funds as well. But we are too busy making social engineering funds like welfare and medicare and social security where we put the taxpayers money on the scam that we are helping them save for the rainy day, but then the federal government robs from these funds for spending on wetlands, hummingbird research, and build a bridge to no where projects. Then they over-promise to people and make entitlements where if you put one dollar in we will guarantee you 100 dollars on Tuesday, heck just vote for me and it won’t matter if you even put the dollar in.
  Sort of far from the idea of budgeting and planning don’t you think? Oh, and when things happen you didn’t plan for, bigger than you could anticipate – well then you do a strange thing called “tightening the belt” where you cut back on optional spending and “nice to have” programs and you get back on track. But that is budgeting, which is something we don’t do despite the mandate for the Senate led by Harry Reid to do by law.

The government has borrowed so much, and has made the people of this once great nation, and generations yet unborn into merchandise. We will never be able to repay what is owed unless we sacrifice the covetousness of our flesh and deny ourselves the evil the world offers for sell. When you put God first in your life he will help you do the things you can’t do on your own. Why do so many not get it? I used to be the way I see most Americans, wanting the things everyone else had and going after the things my flesh loved to do. Thank God he has delived me from most of it, but every day is a struggle and the LORD sees me through.

2 Peter 2:2-4 (KJV)
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Loved the crowds cheering in the background. The commentators on the other end had no clue what Santelli was even talking about.

At this point it is useless. This country is history. Republicans and democrats are all bought and paid for by the international bankers like JPM, Goldman Sachs, etc. The fed has destroyed the middle class. Congress is full of power hungry dictators who continue to shred what little is left of the Constitution. Just today they are getting ready to, if they have not already done so, pass the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) that gives the government secret powers to intercept your e-mails, etc. without a warrant.

Many republicans have already given in to raising taxes and no spending cuts. They refuse to deal with the debt ceiling. Heck they might as well rack up the recorded debt to $20 Trillion, it is just paper. Now many are getting on board to ban a whole host of guns, if they pass the Feinstein bill. Even the republican darling, Marco Rubio is jumping on that band wagon.

so NBC has a panelist who thinks the stock market is the indicator for how we are doing as a country? it ‘filters the information’ for him?
that explains a lot… reporters who don’t want to do any work… happy to click a mouse rather than even reluctantly pick up a phone to get a direct quote….

While the Market can be an INDICATOR of where we stand, it is its own institution, and its purpose is to put buyers and sellers of commodities and corporations et al together… Period. It is not a mathematical algorythm to determine how financially sound the country is. Neither are economists, who predict market changes and try to determine where we are in the supply and demand curves…

Accountants… actuaries, are needed, and ANY 101 level knowledge would make it terrifyingly plain.
It is no different than for any individual…
at the point that we spend more money than we earn, we enter into a debt status.
that is sometimes necessary, hopefully briefly, and SHOULD trigger changes in spending.
at the point that the INTEREST on our debt load supercedes the money we earn, it is IMPOSSIBLE to pay the debt off without finding new ways to increase earnings.
raising taxes beyond a point LESS THAN 50% causes tax earnings to fall… incentive is removed.
in point of fact, we are already at the point that taxation is hurting the economy.

so our politicians have for years used accounting that makes Bernie Madoff look like pinnochio being a good puppet. Thi

Biblical Blessings and Cursings concerning borrowing

Deuteronomy 15:6
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
Deuteronomy 28:12
The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
Nehemiah 5:3-5 (KJV)
Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king’s tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
Proverbs 22:7
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

“Behind the ostensible (visible) government sits enthroned an INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”
― Theodore Roosevelt

“This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President Wilson signs this bill, the INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT of the monetary power will be legalized….the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill. From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.”
– Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr., 1913

“The Federal Reserve is one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever seen. There is not a man within the sound of my voice who does not know that this Nation is run by the international bankers.”
– Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, June 20, 1932

“The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
– President FD Roosevelt (1933-1945)

  Sometimes the apple does fall very, very far from the tree. A must read essay by Howard Buffett, father of the “legendary” investor who initially was so very much against derivatives then promptly changed his tune, discusses fiat money and gold, and concludes that “human freedom rests on gold redeemable money.” In this stunningly simple, straightforward, and flawless analysis, Buffett’s father stresses the relation between money and freedom and contends that without a redeemable currency, an individual’s freedom and one’s access to property is dependent on goodwill of politicians. Buffett also says that paper money systems generally collapse and result in economic chaos. He goes on to observe that a gold standard would restrict government spending and give people greater power over the public purse.

America HAD HER CHANCE… TWICE… to elect a Constitutionalist, Christian, veteran, doctor, economist President Ron Paul. Ron Paul supporters BEGGED, PLEADED and SCREAMED THEMSELVES SILLY… trying to restore Constitutional Liberty…

But America didn’t listen. She ALLOWED HERSELF TO BE FOOLED BY FAKE-conservative, FAKE-libertarian, FAKE-TEA REPUBLICANS, like Beck, Hannity, Rush, Levin, etc, to vote “better evil” (evil)… to rid herself of evil (evil).

Enjoy the harvest WE, OURSELVES have planted.

  Ooooops. No, Fubared. I hope my meaning wasn’t lost. THE CHEATING REPUBLICAN PARTY, MITT ROMNEY AND CHEATING “BETTER EVIL” VOTERS REELECTED KING SOETORO… after having elected him in 2008 using the SAME “better evil” SCAM.
  
  King Soetoro thanks you, republican party.

In other words… his anti republican/democrat (same thing) party rant.

That includes “better evils” and the weak, PATHETIC, COWARDLY voters who WERE SUCKERED (again) into voting “better evil”… to reelect Obama.

The Constitution Party.
The Libertarian Party.
State nullification.
NOW!!!!!!!!!!

  All well and good but…half of the country has their hand out, voted for Barry. Your vision makes it easier for the Barrys to get elected because the pie will be split on the right side of the pie. It is unfortunate, but a fact, liberals have finished the project created in 1964. They command an underclass. They have also convinced states that their voters require more time to vote and transportation to the polls and don’t forget, FREE PHONES!!
  The constitution has been turned upside down against the tax payers and for the tax takers.

  just imagine what our country would look like if the government had to live within its means….
  
  imagine a political party that was serious about cutting spending and unconstitutional institutions….That is the spirit of Ron Paul – but he was laughed at by republicans. After that, I dont know how they can embrace those ideas with a straight face
