Paul Craig Roberts writes in Businessweek, Feb. 27,<br />

1984:<br />

"Whatever Volcker's intentions, <strong>the</strong> empirical data show that <strong>the</strong>re has been<br />

a deceleration in money growth since last spring and that <strong>the</strong> Fed has been<br />

using open market operations to keep interest rates up.... What concerns <strong>the</strong><br />

financial markets is <strong>the</strong> eclipse <strong>of</strong> Reagan's policies by Volcker's.... <strong>the</strong> most<br />

likely result will be higher taxes and higher deficits."<br />

Never<strong>the</strong>less, <strong>the</strong> press and <strong>the</strong> Democrats attack<br />

Reagan as responsible for <strong>the</strong> deficit, over which he has<br />

no control, and which Volcker creates.<br />

"I have been through <strong>the</strong> Fed's actions for <strong>the</strong> past fifteen years in detail --<br />

<strong>the</strong> Fed has exercised a malign influence on <strong>the</strong> economy <strong>of</strong> this country. Its<br />

interference in <strong>the</strong> financial markets <strong>of</strong> America over <strong>the</strong> last decade has<br />

resulted in persistently excessive money growth, inflation which undermined<br />

<strong>the</strong> financial strength <strong>of</strong> U.S. corporations owing to <strong>the</strong> <strong>com</strong>bined inflation<br />

and excessive rates <strong>of</strong> taxation, and record debt."<br />

Forbes pointed out June 20, 1983 in a story about "Tony"<br />

Solomon, "Solomon may be <strong>the</strong> most important man in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Federal Reserve System after <strong>the</strong> chairman, and<br />

what he says and does has an effect upon us all."<br />

Perhaps you have never heard <strong>of</strong> Tony Solomon.<br />

Certainly you have never voted him into any <strong>of</strong>fice, yet
