That's a large part of the job as governor: to create and maintain the optimal balance.
The best governor in the world is the person who never really planned to be governor.
I've got an extreme bias toward governors... they know what it's like to make hard decisions. They know what it's like to actually balance a budget - have a budget, first of all, and have a balanced budget.
The Federal Reserve, the Treasury, all the regulator agencies - if there's a problem of the financial mechanism in society, the only one to fix it is government. They've got a legitimate role.
A governor can be a very good friend to people. A governor can be a formidable force.

It's important for whoever is governor to be somebody with a breadth of experience in life, in business, and in service.
The job of the Central Bank is to worry.
