It's all about money, ain't a damn thing funny

Been out with a bout of the Cheddar Flu, so am just catching up…

So, Helicopter Ben signs on, huh?
Personally, I’m pleased to see Paul Volcker sitting next to the O-Man. For all the fawning over Alan (“I Lost My Virginity to Ayn Rand”) Greenspan, this guy’s guidance of the Fed was a major factor in stabilizing the economy in the 80s. (I actually ran into him in NYC about 10 years ago, fittingly-- or ironically, take your pick-- on 5th Ave. in front of Tiffany’s.) I'm thinking he knows his shit better than that fine whiner Gramm...

But I’m still holding out hope that Krugman is the next Secretary of the Treasury…
