The more closely economic CSIs look at the U.S. economy's corpse, the more of former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan fingerprints show up.

Want to keep an economic boom going? No problem. Just keep all that extra money floating out there. Cut the prime rate, too, just for good measure. Go for all the cheap credit you can get. After all, those dollars in your pocket are just trash. When it comes time to report up on the Hill, you just give 'em some economic hoo-joo.

"For a man who was once remarkably hard to decipher, Alan Greenspan is now as clear as an empty Lehman Brothers office." - Steve Goldstein
