The Chairman of the Federal Reserve should most definitely be prevented from having too much interaction with the current political party in power. Greenspan at the White House once per week should sound some red alerts, financially speaking. The separation of duties and interests has almost gotten to the point where the Fed should become the Fourth branch of our government....

I would state that the tinkering the Fed does would cause more problems that they solve, but after having seen some of the recent goings-on in the financial world we don't dare let the market direct itself or let those involved in the market direct themselves--the lunatics would burn down the asylum.

On the other hand, I would like to see the welfare state dismantled, within reason--if you can get yourself down to the Social Security office to fill out paperwork to get a check then you can get a job (but allowing for consideration to those who are truly disfuntionally disabled or too elderly). Given that restructuring, privatize it into the Market and let me invest my 6.2% how I see fit. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img]
