Defending the Dollar: Greenspan to be Replaced by Schwarzenegger
With the announced retirement of Federal Reserve Chairman Allen Greenspan coming into
effect this January, the powers that be must decide on his replacement. Preliminary
leanings were originally toward promoting someone within the Bank or at least choosing
someone with a degree in economics, but a recent press release from the Federal Reserve
Board of Directors seems to indicate a contrary position. At a press release on Monday,
the Bank announced that it has selected California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as the
next Chairman of the Federal Reserve upon Greenspan's retirement. When interviewed,
Board of Directors member Charlie Winfield said, "The Federal Reserve wants to take a more
aggressive approach to our economy and we've liked what we've seen in his movies, so we
figured he would be the perfect figurehead to the new Federal Reserve. Interest rates
in one hand, double-barreled shotgun in the other."
"This definitely will be a new arena for me", admits Schwarzenegger, "But I'm confident
that my rippling biceps will overcome the opposition." In an exclusive ET interview,
the chairman-to-be said that he would be focusing on making the dollar "strong like me."
News of this decision has left the nation in a state of disbelief. When asked his reaction
to the decision, JBU Professor and concerned citizen Dr. Jim Blankenship said, "Economics
is a multi-faceted subject." In response to the opposition facing the news of the press
release, Director Winfield spoke in the Federal Reserve's defense by saying, "At least he's
not an Economic Girly Man."
