Dario Perkins(@darioperkins):When Greenspan came in, he immediately hiked rates. Volcker phoned him and jokingly called him a "traitor". He was supposed to be friendly to the administration. It would be funny if Warsh was forced to hike and Powell pulled the same joke. More likely Trump calls though... 🤣
