Greenspan says, while in “legacy rehab”, that we’re in a recession. Volcker says, referring to our financial/credit mess, we have “…the mother of all crises”. And, per the recently Fed minutes released they’re worried about weak economic growth and rising inflation data or stagflation. Mrs. Bernanke must shop.

Have a pleasant day.
