Journalist Peter Hartcher compares the current actions of central banks to those of Alan Greenspan after the last financial crisis. He warns that “excess money always leads to some nasty pernicious event.”
—–
According to Peter Hartcher, from 1996 on, Alan Greenspan, chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Board from 1987 till 2006, knew that equity markets were overheated and should have taken concerted action to cool them. In fact, Greenspan gave one speech in December 1996 questioning the “irrational exuberance” of investors but never followed up to pop the bubble.
By 1999, Greenspan had become an out-and-out cheerleader of the so-called New Economy, in which labor productivity was rising so quickly that inflationary pressures were of minimal concern. As the steward of America’s financial markets, he should have known better, Hartcher argues, but in the face of jawboning from both Congress and the White House, Greenspan buckled under and took the easy way out. – Sydney Institute

Politicians are going to spend $800 billion dollars which they claim will stimulate the economy. For the same amount of money we could eliminate the payroll tax for the rest of the year, giving the average worker thousands of dollars back in their pocket. Instead of more government spending, why not just let the American people spend their own money?
