Oh I suppose if you think Ben means anything he says, then yeah you might be confused. I'll let you in on a little secret though, these guys lie.
Ben has a cushy job handing out money to the banking moguls who put him there. He will spout whatever Keynesian crap fits the banking industry's needs at the moment. Right now that is "stimulus" - in other words, inflate the money supply to stop the bank loan cycle from deleveraging.
Ben and his ilk could give a damn about you or any of the unwashed masses. The only surprising thing is that people continue to listen to him.
