Notable Quotation from a Prof.of Economics

Michael Lehmann, Professor Emeritus of Economics:

"Federal authoritiess initiated the real-estate boom by depressing mortgage interst rates. Then they exacerbated conditions by refusing to adequately regulate mortgage lending practices. The result: An unprecedented and unsustainable increase in real-estate values, egged on by greed, skullduggery, and tomfoolery."

I am inclined to concur the above statement with my recollection of the name Greenspan. What do you think? Have a fine recollection and a good day!
