The mainstream media are screaming their heads off about the “failure” of the House of Representatives to plunder middle-income America for the benefit of the Wall Street/Washington plutocracy. This morning on MSNBC Mrs. Alan Greenspan (Andrea Mitchell) was screeching like a wounded bluejay over the chutzpah of the American public in failing to “rescue” what’s left of her husband’s legacy.

Speaking of Greenspan, where the hell’s he been? Wasn’t it just a few years ago that he was portrayed by all the world’s media as the Master of the Economic Universe, the “maestro” whose central planning expertise was the sole source of everyone’s prosperity? Has anyone heard a peep from the Maestro about the current economic crisis?
