Greenspan's Body Count: Siu Fong Ng takes these broken wings and learns to fly

The Orlando Sentinel:
On May 6, a Maitland woman jumped from the top floor of the Orange County Courthouse parking lot, falling 76 feet to her death.

Why Siu Fong Ng, 50, killed herself and why she chose such a public place are not clear. She left no note.

However, she and her husband were being sued for foreclosure by their mortgage company. The paperwork was on file at the courthouse, a few dozen feet from where she fell.

Ng and husband Steven Johansen Jr., 60, were also being sued for foreclosure on two other pieces of property. Johansen was a mortgage broker and real-estate investor who bought and sold houses. He had gotten stuck owning houses worth less than what he owed on them.

"I know she was upset about losing our house," Johansen said. "I told her, 'Don't worry about it. I can get us another house.'"
RIP, Siu Fong Ng. BIH, Alan Greenspan.

Greenspan's Body Count is an anecdotal tally of the few bubble-related suicides that make headlines. But as the Sentinel points out, the true number is far higher. Florida's suicide rate was up from 12.8 per 100,000 in 2005 to 13.7 per 100,000 in 2007. That's an additional 164 suicides per year in Florida alone. And statistics from central Florida indicate that suicide was up another 13% in 2008.

Alan Greenspan created the housing bubble to bail out the crash of the tech bubble, all the while declaring that he could see no bubble at all. His protege, Bernanke, believes the proper response to an easy-money bubble is to try to create an even bigger easy-money bubble. And now Barack Obama wants to give even more power to these idiot children playing with gasoline.

Greenspan's Body Count stands at 103.
