The guy no one wanted in the room

"We print money for it, the value of the money goes down poor people pay higher prices" he said with a serious face. "that is a transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to wall street. Wall street is doing quite well..."

He was a little guy, and sometimes his voice was a bit unsteady, but he spoke with conviction.

I used to scratch my head and wonder where he came from, but then a friend pointed out he had been there all along.

"There's nothing radical about it, to me the radical idea is over spending, over borrowing and resorting to printing money when you run out and you wonder why you have financial problems," he began to laugh as he continued. "or borrowing money from the Chinese to finance our military operations."

After I saw his face I did kind of remember who he was, he'd been in the news a little from time to time, I had never listened, he said some radical things. But how would I know they were radical, I never listened.

He's still around, but I don't know where he went.
