Such a shame that we've allowed dipwads like Alan Greenspan to ruin the American economy. And the GOP, shamelessly, is still pushing the notion that deregulation of the stock market and banking interests in this country should be unfettered and unregulated, despite the horrible state of our economy today – a direct result of deregulation and greed on a gargantuan scale. And that greed was fueled by Greenspan and his ilk, the economists who saw an opportunity to make a few billion dollars for themselves, while implementing deregulation to the point of absurdity, allowing crooks, swindlers and outright con men to benefit from the public's gullibility and stupidity in following the crowing Republicans who reveled in their power to push the government over a cliff, along with "we the people."
