I feel strongly that a ham sandwich with a scepter would be a fine Fed chairman. In fact, I think a ham sandwich with a scepter might do a better job because it wouldn't be politically motivated.

I wasn't even the ham in the sandwich. I was just dragged out of the sandwich, abandoned by left and right!

I think (Fed Chairman) Alan Greenspan has made it all but official, we'll get another rate cut in June, but my guess is a quarter point rate cut, principally because of what we're seeing on the inflation report. The CPI and PPI have been trending up over the last two years.

The Fed chairman has a lot of latitude to do things the way he wants to. I don't see why he wouldn't carry the day the way he wants to.

Hors D'oeuvre: A ham sandwich cut into forty pieces.

We've had the same Fed chairman for so many years that we have a standard. He represents an unknown, to an extent.
