ah yes 'Lentz, touting the sage wisdom of Keynes. Keynes quote wil one day be changed to "why should I care in the long run I will be dead"
Because what Keynes logic doesn't take into account is that someone will be left to deal with the mess that was wrought by no regard for the future. As it stand today, you already have to clean up the mess of three generations (you, father, grandfather). If you don't, you're children will have to clean up the mess of four generations
And when your middle age children are picking potatoes out of your backyard to feed you're feeble body and you are burning the last of your retirement stock and bond certificates and paper dollars to keep warm in the winter you'll say to yourself
"Man I really wish I bought some gold, but am I ever glad Keynes is dead"
