[Ben Carson] critics say that your inexperience shows. You've suggested that the Baltic States are not a part of NATO, you were unfamiliar with the major political parties and government in Israel, and domestically, you thought Alan Greenspan had been treasury secretary instead of federal reserve chair.

Megyn Kelly

When the former Fed chairman was in, Alan Greenspan was in, there was a saying back in those days that you called the 'Greenspan put.' Any time the treasury secretary - for the Fed chairman - said something, the market saw that as good news, and it took off.

Scott Garrett

There is an enormous thrust in our time to have a simple answer. And that simple answer is that all depends on Alan Greenspan and the Federal Reserve. And Alan, who is an old acquaintance of mine, is a marvelous performer in the impression he gives of enormously great perception.

So I got up and called Washington and said, "Change my instructions," and they didn't.

Madeleine Albright

Peter Fonda

Alan Greenspan is unskilled; you don't take the unskilled seriously.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I served on the budget committee in the Senate, and I remember as vividly as if it were yesterday when we had a hearing in which Alan Greenspan came and justified increasing spending and cutting taxes, saying that we didn't really need to pay down the debt - outrageous in my view.

Hillary Clinton

Some beach, somewhere. There's a big umbrella casting shade over an empty chair. Palm trees are growin' and a warm breeze a blowing. I picture myself right there, on some beach, somewhere.

Blake Shelton

When you make machines that are capable of obeying instructions slavishly, and among those instructions are 'duplicate me' instructions, then of course the system is wide open to exploitation by parasites.
