Comments on: Greenspan Says Stock Rally Reduces the Need for a Second Stimulus http://wallstreetpit.com/13010-greenspan-says-stock-rally-reduces-the-need-for-a-second-stimulus Tue, 22 May 2012 19:21:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Daniel Habtemariam http://wallstreetpit.com/13010-greenspan-says-stock-rally-reduces-the-need-for-a-second-stimulus#comment-87521 Daniel Habtemariam Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:25:17 +0000 http://wallstreetpit.com/?p=13010#comment-87521 Other things Alan Greenspan has said: He blatantly admitted to a flaw in his lifelong stance as a staunch advocate for deregulation. He has recently called on the government to break up banks too big to fail. He said in an interview 2 months ago that tighter credit and higher taxes are the way to fix our still struggling and debt-ridden economy. You see, the problem isn't that people still listen to him as much as it is that the corporate/Republican propaganda machine selectively broadcasts what he says when they like what they hear. Same with the Congressional Budget Office, the United Nations, groups like AARP, academic economists like Martin Feldstein, and a whole host of other entities/institutions...which are all over the airwaves when they say something supporting right-wing ideals and silenced when they're dissenting.
