I have no idea why people deify Greenspan. I am sure he doesn't curry adoration. He doesn't go on the talk shows, he doesn't give interviews, he doesn't write op-ed pieces, he's not a pundit. The only thing he ever talks about is the Federal Reserve and items within its purview, and only to Congress and banker's groups.

How that transmogrifies into "giving folks the idea that they will always be bailed out if they make a bad decision" mystifies me.
