WASHINGTON/LONDON (Reuters) - Lawmakers called on Wednesday for a 'mortgage czar' to help cope with an expected wave of foreclosures from the U.S. housing slump but Alan Greenspan said the credit crunch was past the worst.


"We are beginning to see the frenzy calm down," the former chairman of the Federal Reserve told a conference in Lisbon. "Unless we get secondary effects the worst is over."

5. Hm, interesting choice of words "CZAR"
are they remembering Russia's fate recently?

Don't let these guys fool you. They know precisely how bad it is. And how bad it's going to be. That Fool Alan Pondscum opened his big fish mouth today and said "Whew the worst is over". If that was true, then they would not be crying for a Czar. Believe me, the cratering hasn't even started.
