Black Box Report

For critics or supporters, it's easy to get dismissed by the other when it comes to this president and his administration. So when someone like Alan Greenspan speaks, everybody listens. For a self described conservative libertarian, Greenspan is not a fan of this White House, their principles or their competency. Forget the oil-grab claims for a moment. The fiscal discipline dis for a Republican is worse than Snoop Dog having his street cred called into question.

Greenspan didn't mince words; irresponsible tax cuts at a time of war, spending like a drunken sailor and an abuse of power by the Grand Old Party add up to a fiscal mess the old FED chief believes Bill Clinton wouldn't have permitted, let alone been far more competent to address.

It's nice to know Mr. Greenspan was, isn't and never will be one of all the president's men.
