I think Greenspan has done a total reversal of the inflation hawk he was in the first half of his 17 year term. It is when he thought somehow he could smooth out the economic down cycles by inflating assets to keep consumers borrowing and spending that the real problems started to occur. His comments these days are truly to cover his ass. Hey he told everyone they borrowed to much even though he gave no incentive to save. That housing price rises were unsustainable yet he tell everyone to get an adjustable rate mortgage so they can go into even greater debt on an even bigger home they could never really afford. That they needed to further educate themselves even though many of the good paying jobs are in housing that don't require much education. <Yeah, this is Greenspan's way of saying that the coming depression is all Bush's fault, not his. Admittedly, Bush is a monkey fish, but Greenie has been working on destroying America since Reagan, so it isn't all the fault of monkey fish economics>

abandonment of mfg base to Asia over 30 years most significant element of all that I have observed which led us squarely into financial engineering pathogenesis shift in economic numbskull thought is right up there outsourcing jobs creates net new jobs -- stupid foreign TBond ownership signals US strength -- stupider consumption leads investment -- stupidest WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING TOWARD ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION our economists make it up as we go we invent Wizard of Oz Economics it is almost all backwards it is intended to justify consumption excess and debt dependence reminds me of addicts who build an entire system to justify their little warped system only ours is not little, and has engulfed the world economy I love the claim of deficits are stimulative temporarily sure just like surpluses and excess savings are the opposite see Japan The current administration, it appears, operates under the notion that twin deficits are stimulative and positive. So is cardiac electrical shock with paddle boards stimulative to a heart attack victim flat on his back. It is not positive. / jim
