Hillary wanting Greenspan on "expert" panel. OK. THATS. IT.

[Neshanic]

Done. Finished. Kaput. Adios. See YA!

UNFUCKING believable.

She has now wandered into a wierd twighlight zone of her own and her remora advisors own making.

How do you defend this as a Hillary supporter? I can't anymore. I just can't.

I am done with her.

1. Good for you.

Greenspan isn't perfect be he is still smarter than anyone else we have. He worked for Bill Clinton and as I recall, the economy was really good. Besides, the person who helped break it is sometimes the best to help fix it.

2. That headline is misleading as all hell.

Might want to read the text cause the headline is nowhere near the stuff in the article.

Flippin so-called "journalists". Ugh.

3. you dont understand what a good move that actually is.

the task force will actually accomplish very little, no matter who is heading it. putting Greenspan at the helm will increase investor confidence instantly.

4. She is trying to use his big name to put a seal of approval on her plan

In other words if Greenspan is willing to be a part of her plan than it must be a good plan.

8. I don't see where she even mentioned his name. (nt)

[RememberWellstone]

5. Better suggestion?

Maybe Pee Wee Herman since we are using total inexperience from the head down?

12. Paul Krugman or just about any economics professor nt

6. Bush is in charge of appointments

I suppose you think he'll appoint someone else? :rofl:

[Nederland]

7. Greenspan is a smart guy

Anybody who doesn't see that needs their head examined.

9. So his repeatedly getting the housing bubble wrong was... intentional? (nt)

[Teaser]

10. He is, in large measure, RESPONSIBLE

for the current mess. And not just by pimping ARMS.

He has set the stage for a deflationary spiral by his repeated interest rate interventions on behalf of market fluctuations. Furthermore, he helped create the housing bubble with his easy money policy.

Now the market expects the fed to bail it out at every turn, forcing interest rates lower and inuring the market to their effects.

11. He kept pumping up that housing balloon..and bailed just before it popped

I am a NOBODY, and I knew the whole thing was rotten to the core..
