#2 QE in action.
It drops yields (i.e. makes investment more expensive), keeps failed investments from being removed from the economy and rewards land-owners at the expense of wage earners.

#3 "This is just the tip of the iceberg," Greenspan said in an interview on CNBC. "The global economy is in real serious trouble."

Where was this 'sage advice' eight years ago, asshole? Some of us knew something bad was happening when QE was implemented by your successor Bernanke. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with that, now would you?

#7 Raj,

Greenie was saying this stuff eight years ago but the media didn't want any adult supervision of our monetary policy while THE ONE was in power. Not that the one (lower case intentional) is a LAME DUCK, the media is letting the critics out of the closet.
