Greenspan's comments on the Housing Bubble he funded:

Janet Yellen's job interview:
“For my own part, I did not see and did not appreciate what the risks were with securitization, the credit ratings agencies, the shadow banking system, the S.I.V.’s — I didn’t see any of that coming until it happened.”

No one knows why they got so excited about the pending dissolution of the EU...



Even the Brits didn't know



The rest of the world was not invited...




Everyone was in denial...



As usual...
"I didn’t see any of that coming until it happened.”
