Hmmm, Kofi Annan's good buddy, Paul Volker? UN apologist Paul Volker? That Paul Volker?

I give his opinion some weight.

Perhaps Volker was concerned that our thieving government won't stop stealing out money and wasting it on hurtful entitlments. Perhaps he was also concerned about Charts like these:

why - he wasn't he Fed chairman under Carter. Remember how disasterous that was. I do my mortgage rate was 13% and the country was in pretty bad shape.

Chairman Greenspan's predecessor, Paul Volcker, was first appointed by Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, and then reappointed by President Reagan." I remember Volcker tried to change right before Reagan replaced him with Greenspan.

He did his job thirty or so years ago to bring Carter's inflation under control, but I would wager even then that he was doing the bidding of others on that errand.

Finally - a voice of sanity !
