Greenspan waves the white flag

The Fed has lost
control of the
economy, with nothing
it can do that won’t
make things worse


OPINION
By Christopher Byron
MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR

Feb. 28 — Has the Federal Reserve thrown in the towel on a
developing recession in the United States? That’s one way to
read the cheerless — almost fatalistic — comments of Fed
Chairman Alan Greenspan Wednesday before Congress. His
message to Wall Street and the nation: The current economic
retrenchment has to run its course, and the Fed is not likely to
take extraordinary action of any sort unless “fear” and
“non-rational behavior” begin driving the markets.
