      I think it's part of a more generic pattern going back to at least Nixon where the Fed is willing to goose the economy for the GOP but runs a tighter ship for Dems, even in the teeth of compelling economic case for alternative.

          "Goose the economy for the GOP"? Perhaps, but that might come as news to "W' and the rest of the GOP, after Greenspan and then Bernanke raised rates 17 consecutive times, leading up to the worldwide implosion.

          Clinton re-appointed Greenspan and Obama re-appointed Bernanke. Democrats have to stop picking Republicans. Same goes for DOD and the FBI.

          Twaddle. The Fed spent most of the Reagan Administration keeping money tight to clamp down hard on inflation.

          @AnitherSpace So why Obama admin - during its two terms, 8 years of long reign - couldn't launch a giant infrastructure spending? - Didn't they eye on it fast/early enough? - Someone (GOP) kept shooting it down?
