Anyone feel like Jimmy Carter is prez?

I got all nostalgic for Alan Greenspan today. Ronald Reagan appointed him chairman of the Federal Reserve. What a bumpy road he traveled. Still, we did not see double digit inflation rear its ugly head while he was at the helm. That was a horrid nasty time.
He studied Clarinet and saxophone at Julliard. Played sax with Stan Gertz (if you know Jazz). Got his PHD in Economics from New York University, tutored under Fed Reserve Chairman Arthur Burns. He worked with Ayan Rand in the 1950's.
I am thinking whomever becomes president is going to need an a top notch economic advisor.

I vote for Annamarie. She's turned a single civil service income into a very rich life for us...
