Our economy has been in trouble since April, 2000. It took the fed almost a year to figure this out. It is slowly coming back, but may require a few more rate cuts and a couple of good earnings quarters in the technology sector to really make a turnaround. I would say the article is pretty much on target.

But probably his incentives are much more favorable. Besides, the guy probably can live off the interest from his investment since he has the whole market in the back of his hand.

I doubt he gets any incentives. He is a federal employee (which explains why his pay is so low). What are they going to do, give him stock in the government?
