"These are unprecedented times, and anyone who tells me that they know what the economy will look like as little as six months from now is relying on a lot of guesswork." --Keith Hennessey

A trusted advisor in the West Wing, Keith Hennessey served as director of the National Economic Council (NEC) and assistant to the president for economic policy.
