I'm sorry that you are blinded by your party views. You're obviously more interested in politics than economics. For the record, I'm not at all a Republican. There are candidates in both parties that I would vote for.
The US Real GDP grew 3% last year whether you want to believe it or not. The numbers are publicly available and easy to find.
Greenspan was appointed by both the Republican and Democratic presidents of the past two decades. The Federal Reserve was designed to separate monetary policy from the office of the president and congress. One excellent example is that Bush Sr. wanted Greenspan to ease credit. This would have inflated the economy temporarily and increased the chances of a Bush re-election. Greenspan made the correct decision and refused.
