“Mr. Greenspan is calling for the complete repeal of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, brushing aside Republicans and Democrats who say the economic recovery would be threatened. … ‘I’m in favor of tax cuts, but not with borrowed money,’ Mr. Greenspan, 84, said Friday in a telephone interview. ‘Our choices right now are not between good and better; they’re between bad and worse. The problem we now face is the most extraordinary financial crisis that I have ever seen or read about.’ … Even liberal economists who concur with the need for higher taxes have not been eager to embrace Mr. Greenspan.”
