WASHINGTON—Alan Greenspan was arrested on Monday at the US Federal Reserve and formally charged with killing off large sections of the American middle class after police read the new book “Greenspan’s Fraud” by best-selling author and Economics Professor Ravi Batra.

“I have no regrets,” snarled Greenspan as he was led away in handcuffs. “I was only following orders.” Yet the Fed Chairman later broke down and confessed to the crimes, pleading guilty.

Greenspan has been killing off the middle class under a succession of US presidents from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush, according to the new book. He helped extract trillions of dollars from the middle class to sharply enrich the rich and big business. Greenspan catered to the rich and powerful to maintain his lavish appointment as Chairman of the Federal Reserve, helping them shape government and economic policy in their favor.

Batra explains how Greenspan’s policies on Social Security, income tax cuts, and the minimum wage are reducing the middle class and leading toward perilous times. Strangely, even as he harmed the middle class and created many economic crises, Greenspan has been worshiped like an oracle or wizard, and adored because he was seen as saving America from various economic crises.
