He is one of the few with some sense. Just read his statement regarding the issue. <br/>BubbleSpan and Ben Bombarke can't even compare to him. Volker opposed the weakening of Glass-Steagall.

I wonder how many times he has been greeted in the street in this way? Can't be too many: how many of us would recognize him? ". . . Too young." Well, he still has his quick wits about him, I'll say that much. : ) Volcker was, and is, famously tall. I wonder how many times he has been greeted in the street in this way?

It's just criminal to be that tall and do something as insubstantial as be a central banker. I bet he could have run circles around George Mikan.
