<I think the last collapse came completely from AG. He decided to raise rates up to 6.5% and sit on it until he saw hundreds of thousands of pink slips. He did all this not because we had out of control inflation but because he had some theoretical hunches and academic models.>

He did this because he watched in horror as Banksters sold equity to the public which had no chance to make ANY return for anyone ever. The biggest bubble of all time... and he didn't want it bigger.
