Except for a couple of generations, government, corporations, and labor worked together and really did give hundreds of millions of people very nice, secure lives.
>LOL, sounds like Government Motors.

You can call it what you want, but it was a much better situation for so many people. That should be what matters, not any bullshit about "small government" or "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps."

>Of course I read the whole thing. Horror story? Give me a break. This guy has a positive outlook on life, even with the downturn in his fortunes. That may be part of the reason why he's 77 but still in good health with a straight back.

No, it sucks to HAVE to work at 77. And the only reason he can do that kind of job at his age is because he worked a white-collar job for most of his life. What about the people who aren't that lucky?
