Bad news is good news for Heroin addicts. They figure that the Fed will keep printing if the news gets worse and worse.

Must suck to be continually wrong about EVERYTHING... how many years now have you been claiming massive inflation is coming, another market collapse, a collapse of the dollar, doom and gloom, doom and gloom, the Fed, the Fed

and you think only 1% of the population is invested in the stock market? good lord

I bet you are a big Rick Santelli fan

Rick Santelli is one of the right wing talk show pundits who helped launch the Tea Party movement with his rant attacking a federal policy that would help homeowners after the mortgage crisis in 2009.

“The government is promoting bad behavior! Do we really want to subsidize the losers’ mortgages?!!!! This is America!!!!!”

He's always on screaming about something or walking off the set, but today CNBC's Steve Liesman and the other guests tore into him when he claimed once again that if the Fed does anything to help the markets, it will cause massive inflation.

crooksandliars.com a Monday afternoon debate, the CNBC panel — including Liesman — tore into their famously outspoken colleague by telling him that all of his dire predictions about the Fed’s actions have been proven wrong.

After a series of rants from Santelli on Fed Chair Janet Yellin possibly risking inflation, host Scott Wapner intervened to say that “the jury’s still out as to whether the Fed is going to help.”

This set Santelli off: “Jury? Who are you talking about? Who’s the jury specifically? Academia? Professors? That valet you let park your car?”

Co-panelist Josh Brown piled on: “Rick, you already decided this wasn’t going to work five years ago. Is some of your anger about confirmation bias?”

“I was right! I was right!” Santelli shouted, walking off-camera to applause from Chicago floor day traders. “End of conversation. Hasta la vista!”

But he returned when Liesman began torching him:

It’s impossible for you to have been more wrong, Rick. Your call for inflation, the destruction of the dollar, the failure of the U.S. economy to rebound. Rick, it’s impossible for you to have been more wrong. Every single bit of advice you gave would have lost people money, Rick… There is no piece of advice that you’ve given that’s worked, Rick. Not a single one… The higher interest rates never came. The inability of the U.S. to sell bonds never happened. The dollar never crashed, Rick. There isn’t a single one that’s worked for you.



Oh and lets also not forget that you were a gung-ho chear-leader for Bush's disastrous war in Iraq

Maybe someday you will be right about something
