I'm no huge fan of the Fed, period. But Greenspan did preside over the Fed during one of the most prosperous times in our nation's history, and his willingness to not only see what's going on, but to comment bluntly on it, is... welcome.
Greenspan: Government “activism” killing economic recovery (http://hotair.com/archives/2011/03/14/greenspan-government-activism-killing-economic-recovery/)
Tomorrow, former Fed chair Alan Greenspan will go to the Council on Foreign Relations and argue that the main obstacle to economic recovery is the expansion of bureaucratic uncertainy caused by the “activism” of the Obama administration. Clifford Marks explains his thinking at National Journal, although he clearly isn’t impressed with the argument...
Much more @ HotAir...

Yah, no chit!
Now, whatchya gonna do about it? Are ya gonna take the fight to them, or pull up short?!
The cycnic in me is sending off warning bells that this is just a dude trying to get out front while there is time to save his phony baloney job only because they can read the political tea leaves that show Obammy getting his behind bounced!

What's sad is this has to be explained at all. Greenspan has rubbed me wrong a few times, but he is 100% correct. Many in the business world (including my meager dollars) are waiting for more clarity.
I've said before, bad policy doesn't necessarily stop me from growing my business, this can be overcome, it is the uncertainty obama exhibits, from foreign policy, spending (sorry, investing) and overbearing regulation. Not to mention obamacare and its affects in 2014.
It's there to see if anyone wants to look.

Greenspan is not normally known for his clarity. Reams of paper used in trying to decipher his previous impenetrable circumlocutions.

Hell, I cannot even understand my own circumlocutions!
WTH heck was I thinking when I scribbled my first posting on this thread? I know I read Greenspan, but I was thinking Benanke! Must be Regime Overload!
We'd be better off with Greenspan over Bernanke...Bernanke is a disaster! As I re-read Greenspan, he is basically calling out the Keynesian's...and announcing the Emperor (Duh Wun) has no clothes, yet his minions tell him he's dressed out in the finest attire!
(What's that sucking sound? Timmy? Ben? Hello?)
And I think SH is right, gonna be a few cold nights on the couch for 'ol Alan!
