facing the blame was always going to land with the governing party. congressman dennis kucinich joins me today to talk of the elections the federal reserve and the start treaty congressman good to see you as always thank you so i recently saw you on the o'reilly factor and of course you were asked about the elections and the results of the elections and you sad that the results are an indication that quote the american people are impatient is it that or is it an indication that americans aren't ready aren't willing to accept the policies that democrats are pushing through especially when broad democrats like yourself the policies that i wanted had been enacted we have a full employment economy we would have our children going to school to wishing for it we would have a universal pre-kindergarten we would have health care for all we wouldn't have any

questions about this solvency of social security we would have america back to work we would be out of iraq and afghanistan those were the policies i was promoting that none of that happened you might not well because i believe that the popular mandate which the president of united states had. right from the moment of his inauguration in january of two thousand and nine was squandered. and instead of a program for immediate action to put the country back on its feet economically we had a temporizing we had more concern expressed over the fate of wall street and the bonuses for wall street than we did on saving jobs and main street and the wages and main street look the things in this country right now the economy is very unstable people are worried about losing their jobs their health care their pensions their retirement security why wouldn't there be

a revolt but if we if we look at the results again and you can't help but think that this is a reflection of the health care bill that president obama pushed through you know i was covering some of the local debates and folks who voted in members who voted for the health care bill were demonized you know even if they consider voting for it and they didn't in the end they were looked down upon you almost didn't vote for the health care bill because it didn't include the public option i mean isn't this an indication you know america's youth are not interested not ready or just doesn't care that americans don't think that a we needed a public option and b. it was the right thing to even even push the health care bill to writing this was the major piece of legislation that obama was able to to push through fifty million americans without any health care at all i did want reform only within the context of a for profit system which is what president obama ultimately decided that he wanted to push for the fact of the matter is people are losing their homes because they can't afford to pay their medical bills where and where else in the world does that

happen except in the united states of america because we have a for profit system so i want to change that system now to say that the referendum is some kind of the election with some kind of referendum on liberal economics be very interesting if we had liberal economics what we have was a wall street dictated bailout was wall street dictating the terms of reform was wall street getting their banks taken care of and main street losing jobs. income dropping losing homes and that kind of situation with so much fear people are going to hold the party in power responsible which is what they did but doesn't it shock you that with all these problems i mean the problems are all the same home foreclosures record unemployment rates millions of people without health insurance razor all clearly problems why do we have such different solutions to them

or the proposal because with the data the level of analysis this election is basically misplaced i'll tell you why because you have to look at the economics. the structure of our system is wrong it doesn't work anymore for the average working person that american economic system when it comes to delivering food to the practical aspirations of americans is falling apart look the economic system itself is the problem and the whether it's a democrat or republican in charge of it look it's a faulty vehicle right now we have to change the structure of our economy or people are there just being dealt out of the economy what he would expect people to do with their man well if that's so then are we going to have a political situation or do we already where you either have to be uber conservative or uber liberal in order to get elected that there's just there's no room for moderates anymore because like you said you know when you try to please

everyone you're going to end up pleasing nobody not give you give you another possibility that if neither the democrats nor the republicans are able to deliver you're going to look at a new opening in american politics is that we're going to where he party no it's not the tea party was i think a popular response to the insufficiencies of of governments not responding not non-response or limited response to the economic crisis that was affecting main street. the tea party movement is born out of a lot of people for gray davis thing it was the left side to get something out of the grass so you know government didn't really do enough not even didn't that they did something they didn't do enough to stimulate the economy the two major parties here have a responsibility to the american people and if they fail to deliver you know them or kratz. have faith failed to deliver in two thousand. and nine and two

thousand and ten and if the republicans fail to deliver in two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve i think there's tidal forces that are move one way one year and another way another time those title fortunes are going to wash both parties out just watched you know watch for that to happen because people are not going to tolerate excuse making i predict that america will necessarily go through a kind of paris where we change our relationship with the world where we pull in our troops where we don't have this approach of wars in iraq and afghanistan we bring our troops home we start to take care of things here at home we look at the structure of our economy see how it's working for people i think that america has is going to have to go through a restructuring because frankly the way the economy set up right now it is against working people it is against the middle class well speaking of the economy the

federal reserve initiating round two of quantitative easing and basically the argument here is that the federal reserve had to do what the federal government could have done and should have done but could you guys couldn't do that because of the gridlock because of the partisanship in washington d.c. would you agree with this assertion first of all we need to explain to people that the federal reserve creates money out of nothing it's a phenomenon called quantitative easing that's the lingo. they create money out of nothing they created they predict six hundred billion dollars and they give it to the banks who are then expected to somehow stimulate the economy the fed shouldn't be doing it the u.s. government should be investing in the creation of jobs to fit the fed helped the banks with that but they didn't help main street that there's no jobs there's no

direct relationship between the fed printing six hundred billion dollars giving it to banks and jobs being created the federal reserve's not accountable congress can't even find out about its internal workings well speaking of that both you and congressman ron paul have been calling on more oversight of the federal reserve even an audit of the fact that this is an this has been a long drawn out asked by you to i mean is it going anywhere or will it go anywhere why are more people sort of concerned about what happens behind closed doors and one of the most powerful institutions here in america well for almost one hundred years now for ninety eight years the federal reserve has been a law unto itself it's been a black box which directs monetary policy in america for the benefit of a few at the expense of the minute. we could have we could have great wealth in america but the wealth it celebrates to the top and one of the celebrates the top the fed helps that happen the fed looked the other way when the subprime crisis was

building when banks were were securitizing their mortgages and then going along with investments that were pyramiding the value of these securities ations when the bottom dropped out and people couldn't pay back their loans. the taxpayers got stuck with the bill the federal reserve knew what was going on they didn't do anything about it because their responsibility. it is to wall street and to the banks the problem here is they also have a responsibility to maximize employment they have a zero interest and there are economists working for the fed who believe that a certain amount of unemployment is necessary for the proper functioning of the economy well they have jobs they can say that but we have people with college degrees people with ph d.'s who can't find work that's something drastically wrong in an economy when that's going on congressman you have been very adamant about improving u.s. russia relations yes you've been at the forefront of that at least in congress the

start treaty was signed by both president obama and president in theater back in april it still has not been ratified why not well i think the fact that we had this highly contested election going on probably had something to do with it and i hope what does that mean in the future i mean that's a very good point because a lot of the opposition as we saw to this treaty came from the republican party so does that mean that you know what sort of debt in the water now not necessarily i mean i think the. the old thinking about russia has changed in the congress. has it it has. you know for the first time last year russia caucus was created and it was created for the purpose of building u.s. russia relations so i think that the start treaty. in the next senate. should

have an opportunity for a hearing and for a positive vote it would be absolutely wrong for anyone to try to demonize russia at a time when we need russia's cooperation in order to limit the amount of nuclear weapons that are present in the world congressman thanks so much always an interesting conversation thank you very much. those so many years of time some former prisoners are still a lot. as well this is for sure. those so many years of
