Presidents and the Economy

[PGreen]

How much influence does the occupant of the White House have on the economy, anyway? The standard answer among economists, at least when they aren’t being political hacks, is: not much. But is this time different?

Not at all. FDR still rated the best president, top of the heap, none better, I think your best response is that historians are communists.

The FED controls the money and it does pretty much whatever the President tells it to do.
