(Greenspan) He said it was critical for Congress and the administration to address this problem. He again urged the reinstatement of budget rules that require any future tax increases to be offset by either spending cuts or increases in other taxes. He urged reinstatement of caps on the amount that discretionary government spending could rise in any year. Ping! Is Greenspan turning into a small, accountable government conservative? Or is it small talk?

The liberal media tried to portray him as otherwise during the Clinton years despite his protestations. Remember, that he came up through the ranks at the Fed because of Ronald Reagan. He's no Rat like Bob Rubin or Robert "Third" Reich.

You forgot to mention the need for a line item veto for the budget
