John, "Greenspan sure did a nice job controlling the S&L's when he gained control <g>. Perhaps this is the reason why he has had a hands off approach to the credit and regional housing bubble for way too long?"

John, not sure I understand. He let things get to the levels of crisis in some few institutions (and maybe it was all planned anyway), and then assisted in changing accounting rules for S&L's (not banks). By the new rules, many more institutions were suddenly in trouble. Of those that survived, most all did so by becoming banks.
