OT Why do you think Greenspan thinks he can control the economy? He's just a man doing the best he can. His best happens to be better than most. Show me where he said he thinks he "owns" the economy. He's about as humble as a guy in his position can be. The people who dislike him generally dislike the admiration he gets and project it onto him as arrogance. What other public officials do you see on CNBC trotting across a street in a "Columbo" trenchcoat looking like someone's grandfather?

As far as those who question him, I put Greenspan ahead of the Nobel winners. The fact that they come out with arguments against him is nothing more than competitiveness in their own field. Don't you think Dan Marino always wanted to beat Elway? I restate my point that the guy who actually performs at the highest level, especially for many many years, has no peers. These other people may have the talent of Greenspan, but they haven't had the opportunity to prove it at his level. It's not necessarily their fault, but it's the way it is. Until they do their opinion means little to me.

Yes I haven't refuted Kudlow. I'm not an economist and don't pretend to be, unlike some on this thread. I view things through my own frame, which has more to do with human nature and is unique to me. If I had economist credentials as you appear to, I might feel differently but I don't think it would be that substantially different.

Regards
Bill
