Would this not also contribute to the devalue of the dollar? Seems like the clouds are really lining up. Also, could we not conclude that all of the private equity buying up companies and then leveraging those companies with new debt is really just as bad as the sub prime story? I was laid off after such a transaction. While I prepared for this by saving for the "rainy day" the dollars I saved are worth a lot less and of couse the money will run out someday. Of course the job market is not real great especially in CA. So a year from now I could easly see my home go into a forclosed state. Could we be that far off from a depression?

He was appointed by George W. Bush. As bad as you say Greenspan was, don’t expect that Bernanke will be as good. He was appointed by George W. Bush.
