    She hasn't exactly re-assured me on the Economy either. Placing the dude that helped cause the problem, Greenspan, back in charge of helping to clean it up is a red flag. Saying that you don't understand what he says, even more so. Granted, Greenspan is great at Sphinx like utterances, but it's becoming increasingly accepted as conventional wisdom that the Fed policies from 97-07 haven't served us well. Andrew Leonard here at Salon is doing a pretty good job peeling back the layers.
