1. If you only read "Perfectly Legal" by David Cay Johnston Ch 7 and 8

you find Greenspan helped Reagan's 1981 tax cuts get paid for ... now fast forward to 2001 Bush tax cuts of $1.8 trillion and you see that's about the amount to be 'carved out' of existing Social Security. Hmmmm.

Also, you'll want to read Common Dream's article "Greenspan Shrugged", which explains his ideology of deregulation, which is now costing billions in ID thefts due to the repeal of Glass Stegall Act's prohibitions on banking being repealed. Now your information, thanks to Al, is sent all over the world without any legal recourse for you. Greenspan is a national security risk !
