Not just Greenspan, the entire Fed. Someone on another thread compared it to what happened in Japan 10 years ago. :-(. Sometimes I think they just want to get all us amateurs out of the market for good.

On a lighter note:

Elian Rescuer, Protester Sue

Filed at 12:51 p.m. EDT

By The Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) -- The man photographed holding Elian Gonzalez during the armed raid in which the Cuban boy was seized is suing the federal government, saying his constitutional rights were violated.

The federal lawsuit filed Monday by Donato Dalrymple against Attorney General Janet Reno, Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner Doris Meissner seeks damages in excess of $100 million.

``The complaint alleges unnecessary and excessive physical force,'' said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a conservative group that is providing legal representation for Dalrymple.

Dalrymple -- who with his cousin rescued Elian from the water last Thanksgiving -- claims his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable search and seizure was violated when agents broke into the Little Havana home where Elian had been staying with relatives.

The suit also claims that Reno, Holder and Meissner violated his Fifth Amendment due process rights.

In addition, the attorneys filed another lawsuit on behalf of Michael Stafford, a protester who claims he was beaten and tear-gassed during the raid. Stafford is also seeking damages in excess of $100 million.
