Letter to the Editor

Who signed for the mountain of debt?

To the editor:

The cover page of the recent Washington Post national weekly edition depicts a caricature of Alan Greenspan with the headline "The Greenspan Paradox: On His Watch at the Fed, Americans Prospered But Fell Deeper in Debt."

The equation is simple. Prosperity has been funded by a virtually insurmountable mountain of debt. Who signed the note?
