people older than say 40? What would keep you from hiring them? They are expensive :)

  Is it really that? I've come to think that it's rather the expectation that they are expensive. It is expected by employers as well as the old employees themselves, so if they would demand a lower than expected wage it would come across as fishy (did he serve time? an underachiever?). Another thing might be that with experience comes less naiveness. As you become more resilient against corporate BS you become equally unformable (as in "Thanks, but no 'chakka' for me please").

    Have you hired many 40+ year olds who are both good and cheap?

      Why would you expect someone good to be cheap as well?
