I agree with you. I don't like Democrats, and I'm VERY AntiBama, but this was a reasonably good appointment -- mostly because Volcker is unlikely to repeat the mistakes he made last time.

Hard experience and all.

we’re on the same page...I’m VERY concerned that they’re just making it worse...so EVERYBODY with even 1/2 of an economic clue...had better be working on this.

I've always thought of Volcker as the anti-Greenspan, and that's not a bad thing to be in today's economic environment.
Eventually, interest rates will have to be raised in order to slow down the runaway inflation that will result from all these trillions of dollars floating around.

The strengthening of the dollar that we're seeing right now is temporary. The inflation piper will have to be paid sooner or later.

We agree then that he has new mistakes that he plans to make this time!
