Greenspan's Bailout Legacy | Virginia Beach News

Alan Greenspan’s legacy as Fed chairman isn’t just about economic policy—it’s about who paid the price. His “Greenspan put” turned the Fed into a Wall Street bailout machine, rewarding big banks while taxpayers absorbed the losses. From the 1987 crash to LTCM’s collapse and the 2008 meltdown, Greenspan’s strategy fueled reckless risk-taking and deepened wealth inequality. The Fed’s core function—printing money and bailing out failing banks—created a cycle of low rates, inflation, and moral hazard. Today, ending this system is the only way to fight inflation, but doing so would unleash chaos. The cure is simple: stop bailing out banks. The cost? A crisis. The choice? Unavoidable.
