The economy is falling a part and he is doing little to stop it. And he can stop it. That's what central banks are for........to manage the economy. Meanwhile, the fear is spreading.....global stock exchanges are falling because they see the US frozen in fear. Soon your GLD stock isn't going to be a safe haven. The present situation isn't his fault, he hasn't been in charge long enough to cause the sort of crap thats coming down. It's GREENSPAN that has been blowing financial bubbles to cover his unsound fiscal policies. Oh hell.....I told you who got us into this mess and wasn't Greenspan.........you're in some of kind of denial. In fact, you sound like a GOPer. You keep saying its Greenspan fault but you can't accurately explain why it is his fault. You are making little sense. You're just dittoheading Cramer. Cramer is your Rush. Well, now you're definitely into a GOP mindset.....anyone who compares Cramer to a Rush has lost it.He hasn't earned the moniker "Easy Al" for nothing. The media coined him easy Al. The media also told us there were WMDs in Iraq. Greenspan has been a TOOL. When Clinton/Rubin were in charge, fortunately they wanted the TOOL to do the right thing, when Bush took over, they wanted the TOOL to cover their massive debt. Rubin/Clinton slowed the growing of the debt...that was a good thing, not a bad thing.Greenspan, the relaible, accomodative TOOL, wants to make EVERYONE happy! He's SUPPOSED to be independent, looking out for US, not in the thrall of pols. Okay. I'll stop. You aren't making any sense anymore. Rather, you have a POV and you will stick to it no matter what.
