"He's talking about the deregulation that has taken place since the early 90's. Even your libertarian buddy Greenspan admits now that that was an error."

Well, yes. But that is only because we didn't try hard enough. If we had only eliminated all regulations and requirements, we all would be riding high...

"Even X says Y", isn't much of an argument for Y. The mere fact that Greenspan says something doesn't make it correct.

He's talking about the deregulation that has taken place since the early 90's
