Bernie Ward: "History is going to judge Greenspan as a disaster."
"What they've done is put the economy in an AMAZINGLY precarious situation."

He's basically saying that Greenspan saw all of this coming, but thought that it was more important to give Bush what he wanted.

"The recovery has been based on government borrowing that can't be continued."

"The faction of workers who have given up looking for a job is rising, and salaries are SAGGING."

Tune in. Bernie's rocking.

2. The Fed Reserve ALWAYS appoints ITS right man for the time.
When the middle class had lots of savings the Fed stole it all through massive inflation.

Once the middle class was destroyed and savings were wipped out, the Fed put up their "honest joe" "good government guy" Volcker to tighten the money supply for the wealthys benefit.

Greenspan is a good trooper even if he is a bad cop.

3. hell yes
I told my husband last night that I could do a better job than greenspan. I am no economics major but i am a patriotic american who believes that the welfare of the nation is based on the welfare of all of its citizens and not just the rich.

Anyfool who has lived 50+ years like me could see the disaster coming when the bastards cut taxes and then went to war. Effing A-holes!

Greenspan and bushco are destroying this nation.

4. Unrestrained Capitalism is his creed
What can you expect when God is the invisible hand of the market?

Bernie Sanders is the Bernie who has been calling him out for years.
