"As for the cheerleading, of course, you have a point, but I do think that there was too much touting of the miracle economy on the part of the Clinton Administration, and too much hype about the commercial potential of the Web." No doubt about that, Neo! Even Greenspan offended in this regard. While --- earlier in the nineties --- he warned about the dangers of a bubble, later he famously reversed himself, stating that 'this time it's different' (the ridiculous claim of every idiot amidst the excesses of a financial bubble, throughout history), and he 'made-up' wonderous new 'productivity numbers', almost out of whole cloth... and used these statistically 'adjusted' magical productivity 'gains' to justify the financial excesses of the bubble.
