I was referring to the Hudson book mentioned at the link, not Roberts's "punditry" as you call it.

Oh, and where did I say Volcker and Bernanke should use the same policy tools?

The big difference between Volcker and Greenspan is that Volcker stood up to congress, while Greenspan caved to the politicians and gave them the bubble they wanted. And politicized the Fed.

Or in your own words, "And much of the housing portion was political mandate."

Did you not know this?

And where did I attack you for lack of economic knowledge?

I attacked you for using strawman arguments and putting words in peoples' mouths, and I stand by that.
