Greenspan is a coconspirator to the financial crimes against america! This is one sharp lady and she has listened to the destructive financial plans from over 100 various meetings.......... http://www.newswithviewsstore.com/m...Code=NWVS&Product_Code=DV35&Category_Code=DVD Time for REAL change......... www.endthefed.us
Greenspan is a liar is right, by lowering the rates to historical lows in 2001 and creating excess liquidity was just the wrong way to fix the slowing economy then. If we had gone through a deeper recession 5 or 6 years ago I don't think we would be where we are today, all that monopoly money is now gone and that easy credit has disappeared for good. By preventing the deep recession after the dot com bubble all they did was initiate a new bubble in commodities and real estate. Of course when all this was taking place everyone actually thought it was going to last forever, now we have over a MILLION homes empty and foreclosures at record highs as ARMS continue to reset, how anyone did not see this coming is actually an idiot.
Oh please! This ripping on the FDIC is ridiculous. How much money are you claiming was involved with these risky banks that were paying out high interest rates? There is a limit to FDIC insurance: $250000. What percentage of the market are these risky banks you are referring to? That isn't the reason for this mess. It was the risky lending practices and the ability to pass off the risk to the derivatives market.
Isn't the Fed ultimately charged with oversight? It SHOULD have set the parameters to avoid high risk loans.
