Our thoughts at right." That image shows Alan Greenspan and President Bush.
Floyd Norris of theNew York Times targeted the same pair on his blog: "A Federal Reserve chairman once said that the Fed's job was to take away the punch bowl when the party was getting good. Unfortunately, the Greenspan Fed and the Bush administration did all they could to keep the punch bowl full, fighting off efforts to regulate 'fancy financial instruments' or restrain the excessive leverage that will now lead to massive government bailouts to avert a financial disaster." - girwen, on 07/26/2008, -0/+12What gets me is that years back, the government bailed out Chrysler and got paid back with interest. Now the plutocrats are just flat giving away our money.
