Greenspan's touch only comes in concert with an administration willing to listen
to his advice. He's been Chairman of the Fed since the tail end of Reagan.
Daddy Bush refused to heed Greenspan's warnings creating the economic recession
of 1990. Greenspan did not recommend the third round of tax cuts, citing that
the first two had appeared to have already taken. Yet, Junior pushed for a
third and there you are.
Read any Greenspan biography (the Man Behind the Money or Maestro) and you'll
see he was most impressed with Clinton's command of economics. While
Republicans continue to charge 8 years of the greatest economic boom in the
history of this nation were just a “slick willy” sham, I tend to believe that
Mr. Greenspan is not so easily duped.
