” “Doesn’t this seem like lunacy to you?” said O’Neill, who was President Bush’s first Treasury chief, from 2001 to 2002, …”
His blind man quote is spot on. I acually don’t remember O’Neill. He was completely overshadowed by the Maestro at the time. 2001 to 2002, that was the high point for rate cutting, one of the biggest pivotal points in this trainwreck. Did O’Neill speak out against or in favor of Greenspan’s policies at the time? Did he oppose or support the money drop tax rebates during that time? Does anyone have any other juicy quotes from O’Neill? I just find it interesting that, like Greenspan, another person who bore a fair amount of responsibility during the time this mess was being created is now speaking out about what an awful mess it is. Does he have a leg to stand on? Was he fired in 2002 for not playing ball, or is he as guilty and hypocritical as Greenspan?
