The fundamental issue underlying this debate is taking responsibility. Again, I think that there are a number of individuals who want to shift the blame to create Alan Greenspan as the scapegoat for this economy. The reality is, the responsibility is with the Congress. It is what the Congress has done over the last number of years--again, increasing taxes, increasing Washington's interference, more regulation--that has slowed the economy down. The worst thing we can do now is to put more money into the system which creates inflation.
