Thanks. I looked on Google and it seems that his actual quote was "the
standard of living of the average American has to decline":
http://www.scribd.com/doc/6441987/Volcker-Asserts-US-Must-Trim-Living-Standard-NYT-10181979

That statement is ambiguous, and in the light of his later actions, he
probably didn't mean anything progressive. So it looks like Doug was
right (though his original quote was not accurate).

I'd agree with the amended statement "the average standard of living
of Americans has to decline."
