Papantonio: Economic Uncertainty Fueling Generational War

The workforce in America is becoming increasingly filled with more and more senior citizens. Not because they have better skills than their younger counterparts, but because their pensions have been stolen, the economy is down, and they can’t afford to retire. As a result, young workers are being crowded out, which is creating a whole new set of economic issues. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio discusses those issues with author Joshua Holland.

Capitalism reminds me of that Steven King novel where the Lollygaggers come in and eat up what is left of time. The Lollygaggers, the Pac Men like mouths that chomp up what's left of a world once time has moved on, are capitalist eating up what reminds behind because they can't move into the future. Capitalist are stuck in the past chomping down the remains like Lollygaggers.
