I'm not joining the dogpile on boomers, although they were more worried about being friends to their kids and not parents (oops).

The next "golden age" in America will occur when this loathsome generation finally, mercifully leaves the workforce. Individually, there are some great Boomers, but collectively they've been a complete disgrace. I always appreciate reading about the growing anti-Boomer sentiment in this country.

He also dispelled the notion that rapid inflation/currency debasement is the next stop on this train, contrary to the opinion of talking heads but in-line with thoughts by those paying attention. He also referenced David Wessel's excellent book which refers to Fisher as the "jock" of the Fed presidents. Said book here: http://tiny.cc/CRDiP I was present.

There are fewer Gen X compared to baby boomers and Gen Y. When boomers are retiring, Gen X should be at max earning potential and will be people that have to pay benefits to boomers. Gen X will all die young from having to work so much that Gen Y won't have as many people to support so taxes will go down. Gen X has the worst of it.

How do you jump from that to a legion of Ayn Rand quoting, me-first greedbots?
