  No, Greenspan isn't the "rosy" it's a number of prominent politians.
Greenspan in a couple interviews has expresed the faith in the recovery
part.

Thus spake Kilroy, Chris (Chris.Kilroy at turner.com):

> actually the Fed has said nothing of the kind regarding the economy.   In fact Greenspan used the "R" word before any politicians did (Recession).  The fact that they haven't lowered interest rates doesnt mean they think everything is OK.  In fact it means they still think the economy is in the shitter.  There is only a little bit of room they have left to play with, and they are saving that because there is no certainty as to what the potential war with Iraq will bring as well as the limited possibility of a depression.
