On Bloomberg this morning, I saw Alan the Dollar Destroyer speaking at Georgetown. He said only the government can save us (shocking point from a parasite), Then Bloomberg interviewed some Grand High Pajandrum from welfare-queen J.P. Morgan, who agreed. Greenspan was on the Morgan payroll for many years pre-Fed and undoubtedly post-Fed too. That was not mentioned.
Oh, and Greenspan, using his conjectural-Randian view of history, said there were no secure property rights until the Enlightenment. Al, I hate to break it to you, but the sort of people Ayn disdained established secure property rights long, long before the late 18th century. See Tom Woods, for example.
UPDATE from David Bardallis: “Oh course, in Greenspan’s and the State’s ‘enlightened’ view, property rights go something like this: ‘You got property? Right, I’ll take it!'”
