Federal Reserve Speaker

Depends on what she is speaking about. Mishkin once came to my class and had a strict policy of only answering questions topics directly related to his speech.

That said, don't ask something stupid and generic like "What is your outlook on the economy?" Something interesting might be: "How do you think the dual mandate of the Federal Reserve (controlling inflation and encouraging full employment) vs. the single mandate of the ECB (controlling inflation) have influenced the central bank response to the economic crises in the US and Europe?"

Ask her why Bernanke was clueless about the crisis and why did Ron Paul predicted the crisis years in advance.

Meanwhile, Ron Paul predicting the crisis back in 2001

^ Mishkin is an asshat. Ask her if she owns any gold.

Also, how her boss Bernanke was totally oblivious to the housing crisis, and yet somehow knows where interest rates should be in 2015?

I don't know specifics on what she will talk about but I know our lecture topic is-

Central Banking: Controlling Money Supply and Interest Cost

Thank you for the input. I really appreciate it. and I will be sure to get some answers

Rather than acting like a juvenile delinquent, pay attention to the speech and you'll naturally have questions. Take this opportunity to make some friends in high places as well. This is a small industry, start off on the right foot

Ok well I am a newbie and we need to turn in a question before the speech and I don't know much about The Fed

Interesting situation. If I were in your shoes, I'd have a pre-prepared series of questions that would expose the fools that these central bankers are. But to do this, you'll need a pretty good understanding of the topic yourself, as you'll likely have to respond/make changes to your plan on the spot.

Saying that, it's probably safer to stick to just an in individual question and watch and laugh as the official fucks up the answer.

• Can you explain the differences between the American and European debt crises? And how does the American debt crisis compare to that of say, the UK or Japan?

Correct answer: The American, UK and Japanese "debt crises" are not crises at all, and are completely different to that of European countries. Countries operating under the Euro are not sovereign in their own currency, and therefore their government spending is constrained - that is, taxing the the issue of government securities funds their government spending. On the other hand, the US, UK and Japan all have non-convertible sovereign fiat currencies. In turn, government spending in these countries is unconstrained - that is, taxes and the issue of government securities does NOT fund government spending, but rather serve as inflationary and interest rate control respectively. While there are many more factors such as exchange rates and trade balances, this is the heart of the issue.

Her answer: What the media says.

Ask her while should we take the institution she represents seriously when the head of it clearly don't understand economics.

bring a shoe or two to fling at the head of this financial mafioso.
