1. So, what's the right answer?

Yes, Greenspan fucked up - it's not Chimp's fault.

No, Greenspan is innocent - Bad libruls are bashing another fine Patriot, just like Petraeus.

4. Greenspan lowered interest rates to cover for Bush's tax cuts...

The only part of the US market that stimulated was Real Estate...

5. Isn't more of an SEC problem?

I see the problem as being the bundling of mortgages into a new securities type as a major cause of the problem. I understand that the SEC regulates securities and what can be traded, not the Federal Reserve.
Please enlighten me if I'm wrong.

7. Yes....of course..

He had to give Bush cover so Bush could carry out his Neo-Con Agenda. The NAFTA Highway is full-speed ahead... Goodbye Truck Driver jobs. Hey Drivers... How do you like your Republican President now?
