Yeah, look at the mess we're in because Greenspan assumed dishonest people would be honest...or as he put it, and I'm paraphrasing, he thought banks would look out for the best interests of their shareholders

And he has the gall to say he still doesn't understand how things got so out of control.

Um....how 'bout this, Alan: you have friends in high places and didn't want to police them, and in your overzealousness to stand by your reputation as a staunch opposer to federal regulation, and you acted in your own self-interest and didn't do your job?!

Part of the Fed's job is to regulate. Good to say we have one now who is doing that to a greater degree, even if his hand's being forced due to a global recession.
