He knew them all along, in spite of his protestations that he "never" saw the real estate bubble coming. He presided over and materially contributed to the creation of this bubble through his credit policies. For the media to even lend him an ear while he spouts this nonsense now is laughable - in a really sad kind of way.

If somehow a method could be devised for the buyers to be paying the agencies then there'd be a great deal more diligence in working out how such issues were structured. Quite how this can be managed though is a rather more difficult problem. This makes no sense~~Anorak, what are you talking about here? Buyers can't pay the credit agencies....that's not what Greenspan is suggesting here. Nor would it ever happen. If it did, we'd have a virtual....as in complete...collapse of the financial industry. Bribery is not the solution to the credit reporting agencies problems. The problem is that their methodologies do not work today. They are archaic to say the very least.
