The Financial Times featured a column from former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan arguing that the reforms in the Dodd-Frank bill will make financial markets less stable. Just in case you have forgotten, we have 25 million people who are unemployed, under-employed or have given up looking for work altogether because Alan Greenspan did not understand financial markets and the economy. Perhaps the FT will have a column offering advice on disaster management from Michael Brown.
