And when you talk about Alan Greenspan and his tenure at the Fed –
I think even more so than the argument that interest rates were so low and that kind of partially enabled these lenders to give everyone a home even if they didn't have the credit to do so was the fact that the Fed was essentially asleep at the wheel in not having the proper safeguards to make sure that these banks were not engaging in this activity that led to the financial crisis.
Yeah, and I had the chance to meet Alan Greenspan only once, very gentle man and clearly very intelligent.
And the legacy that he brought to the Fed in addition to everything that we just talked about.
He was also a verbose person.
He spoke in long winded sentences and coined what we now call Fed speak, which is where you kind of go on these long meandering sentences and kind of obscure the message a little bit so that markets don't read into one single word too much because they don't even know what you're talking about.
He will be remembered for some of the congressional testimony.
But I mean, to your point, he was also a very colorful person in addition to all of the sports fandom.
He was an avid musician.
And at one point, he even thought about going into music as opposed to becoming the most powerful economist in the world.
And again, that was the dimension of Alan Greenspan that I think also cements his legacy as well.
Thanks.
