a: Federal reserve ~
b: Elvis Presley's doctor
What: "Since longer than anyone can remember there has been a blind belief that the Federal Reserve is like Elvis Presley's doctor, who can "make things better" by just injecting one more shot of the drug that used to work so well, in the "happy days". Now the shots don't works so well and the patient/economy is stumbling along, weakly as best.
