Will Bush Replace Greenspan with his Personal Banker?
Edited on Sun Oct-09-05 08:15 PM by tritsofme
His term is up at the end of the year...

Just wondering?

I mean the guy is a CPA, so let's not even get started with qualifications...

Or maybe he'll appoint himself? I mean he does have an MBA from Harvard...

1. I think he's gonna put Jenna in the job
Nothing like keeping it in the family, as George H.W. always says.

2. I saw a thread earlier today that made a case for Arthur Laffer...
the Father of Supply-Side Economics and inventor of the Laffer Curve.

It's an interesting prediction.

4. Nope, he's a prominent member of the economic community.
I'm thinking it will be Bob Smith.

The guy who balances George and Laura's personal checkbook.

10. That's Noelle Bush...
And as for that Bush generation, there's not a one that would pass muster. All three of Jeb's kids have been in trouble with the law, and we all know about Jenna, Barbara, and their wicked, wicked ways.

16. Interesting indeed...the irony of the name "Laffer" ("laugher")...
