In an op-ed in last Thursday's Wall Street Journal titled "U.S. Debt and the Greece Analogy", Maestro Greenspan made the case for fiscal belt-tightening and disputed leading economists, like Nobel prize winners Paul Krugman and Joseph Stiglitz, who believe that the Obama administration should provide a second round of stimulus. In the opening paragraph, Greenspan dismisses the idea that cuts in government spending will push the economy back into recession.

A boom occurs and you get wealthy from investments on the way up and even wealthier on the way down, because the elitists are controlling the supply of money and credit and interest rates. That is the real underlying mission of the Fed, which is owned by banking and Wall Street. All the power to control markets and create inflation and deflation lies with the Federal Reserve. Politicians do not create monetary policy, the Fed does. The politicians do as they are told. They know from time to time there will be economic pain, but the payoffs are so good they learn to live with it.</p> <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article20573.html" class="morelink" title="Read full article..."> Read full article... <span>Read full article...</span></a></p> <p align="right" class="subdued"> </p> <hr /> <!-- END: Default News-index Article --> <!-- BEGIN: Default News-index Article --> <p><span class="thumbnail"><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html"> <img src="images/topics/economics.gif" alt="Economics" /> </a></span><h4><span class="date">Thursday, June 24, 2010</span></h4><h3><a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article20572.html">U.S. Fears Economic Stimulus Measures Will Choke on Europe’s Drastic Budget Slashing</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Topic6.html">Economics</a> / <a href="http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/News-catid-193.html">Economic Stimulus</a></h3> <p class="caption">By: Money_Morning</p> <p><img src="../images/silver_star.gif" alt="Best Financial Markets Analysis Article" width="82" height="78" align="right" />Kerri Shannon writes: While U.S. President Barack Obama will be gunning for more economic stimulus measures at this weekend's Group of 20 (G20) meeting in Canada, European lawmakers continue drastic efforts to rein in spending. </p> <p>The coordination of global efforts to promote economic recovery will be the main issue at the weekend's meeting, which was set to spotlight the value of China's currency before Beijing announced Saturday that it would allow the yuan to appreciate.
