We work, the government takes our money and pays itself to give the rest away

What's to understand ?

It's a glorified Ponzi scam

The democrat solution is to bring in a few million more third world “citizens” for the government to support. Guess the PC Greenspan won’t talk about that...

Bush adding $4 trillion was “irresponsible and unpatriotic” according to Hussein Obama.

It’s not news anymore to the liberal media now that Obama is in office.

So how is it you never said that when you were head of the “federal reserve” buffoon? You could have said to our feckless leaders: hey the debt is getting out of hand and I refuse to print all that inflationary fiat money. Why now and not then? The answer is obvious.

This from the guy who understood the dangers of a fiat currency and who stood behind the gold standard...

...and then flip-flopped when he was given the opportunity to become the head of the Fed?

Really Alan?

You think we give a crap about what you have to say at this point...WHEN YOU HELPED TO BURDEN FUTURE GENERATIONS WITH THIS SAME DEBT CREATED BY KEYNESIAN SPENDERS IN THE GOVERNMENT WHO SEEK MONEY PRINTERS IN THE FED TO SUPPORT THEIR SPENDING...THE SAME DEBT YOU NOW CONDEMN?

FU Greenspan.

Hey Greenspan, what about your idiotic comment that we can always print money to pay on the debt?
