Hedge Fund God Says Old People Are Stealing From The Young And It's Going To End Up Like The Housing Crisis

Billionaire hedge fund god Stanley Druckenmiller told Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle that old people today are essentially stealing from the younger population via entitlement transfer payments.

Druckenmiller, who is known to be media shy, told Bloomberg TV that he sees "a storm coming, maybe bigger than the storm we had in 2008, 2010" and it has to do with a demographic bubble.

"But the demographic storm is just starting now. It reminds me of '05 when people just extrapolated housing prices going up for 50 years…Everyone sorta lives with their rulers in the past and doesn't look at coming changes," he said.

What's happening, he explained, is we have a working population now where the current workforce pays for the benefits of the seniors. Since 2000, there have been about 4.5 to 4.8 workers per retiree. He said by 2050 it will be only 2.4 workers per retiree.

He told Bloomberg TV that people like him need to speak out about this issue. Just to be clear, he's not against the seniors.

"And let me just say one thing. I am not against seniors, okay. I love seniors. Unfortunately I'm going to be one in the not-too-distant futures. What I am against is current seniors to me stealing from future seniors."
