He has two faces, the darth vader face, and the father figure face--Remember Vader was a father. Volcker is like Greenspan's father to me. He was an adamant Keynesian money printer. He only seemed to target interest rates, not shut down the printing presses. He wanted to target interest rates at 0% but actually still caused a adriangabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17745834486605961267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-47596491024574027042012-08-05T18:33:09.022-04:002012-08-05T18:33:09.022-04:00My apologies, Capn Mike.

Most young people don't hang out with sexagenarians, septuagenarians, octogenarians, or nonagenarians. It may be natural for a young-adult imagination to have a natural prejudice against older folks, who for the most part are symbols for loss of ability, health, or wealth.

They're on fixed (fiat) incomes that will eventually have little to no purchasing power. Plus they're far less able-bodied to get back to work and earn a livable wage. And it's probably not as easy to move out of the country.
