Who pays Ben Bernanke's salary and how much does he make?

Congress sets the salary of the members of the Board of Governors. In 2008, the chairman (Ben Bernanke) makes $191,300 and other board members make $172,200.

His and other board members salaries are expenses of the Federal Reserve Board. The Board gets revenue mainly from levying assessments on the Federal Reserve district banks. The Federal Reserve district banks get most of their revenue from interest on U.S. Government securities. Excess earnings beyond expenses are returned to the U.S. Treasury.

He's the chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in America.

Thanks.

Has his salary been cut since he virtually decide to seize all but a tiny sliver of savers' money? How much does JanetYellen get (I won't say "earn" because what they do steal from savers and give to bankers. Because I can tell you what my savings"earn" these days. I used to get about$700 dollars a month from banks for the privilege of learning my money to others and charging more than they paid me. I now get less than 14 dollars a month. I and others like me have had a pay cut of 98% and more and now they are threatening to charge us for' "safe-keeping of our money." Many of us maybe most of us, saved so we could have peace of mine and dignity in our old ages...so we could afford home maintenance and dental care and still leave the principal intact for our kids to inherit. That's all gone now....the trust fund brats of the bankers will be getting it all. And neither political party has seen fit to either punish the bankers for their greed and malfeasance or fix the lack of regulations that made it possible for them to cheat us.
