how perfectly they thought he was at setting Fed policy on rates.
His policies were instrumental in causing the dot.com bubble... and then they flooded the market with cheap liquidity to counteract the crash that they had caused, blowing a much bigger housing bubble... that too few recognized until it almost brought down the world's financial system.

But this bubble too will pop... and the results will be devastating, unfortunately.
