I couldn't figure out at first why you would want to do this. But SmartMoney has started a daily tweet of headlines from a year ago, so we can all Relive The Crash. Aren't we still living it? It's not over yet, is it? But then I had a look. I got a hearty laugh out of reading this headline from one year ago today:

Greenspan: The End Is Near

(Whose end are we talking about?)

The story reports that the then-Fed chairman predicts that home prices will bottom out in the first half of 2009. Greenspan wasn't much of a seer into the future, was he? Of course, big parts of the present seem to have escaped him as well. I remember his later admission that he didn't completely see the extent of the subprime mortgage market and the danger it posed to the economy.

If you enjoy the details of doom as it unfolded, you, too, can track the ballooning budget deficit, the bailouts, the growing foreclosures, the whole thing at :
