@ frugalscholar: Yes, I secretly admire the man, too. And I do understand that Wall Street will recover before Main Street, and that the manifestations of recovery may not be visible to the hoi poloi for quite some time. Still…given the level of suffering we’re seeing in this country, it’s hard to imagine how the recession can be declared “over” until we see some real improvement in the average person’s prospects.

They were saying the same thing in 1929, just before the crash. ‘Good times are just around the corner!’

I don’t know. I have kind of a soft spot for BB. He COULD have made zillions on Wall Street. He came just after Greenspan who was treated as a saint.

I am so naive….
