>>Speaking of the economy. Perhaps we should look at our standard of living instead of the ups and downs of the economy. I'd say all Americans, rich and poor, are better off than they were say 25 years ago. Our standard of living has improved. So what if we have to cut back on personal spending for another year during the economic downturn. We're better off than ever on balance.<<

I do not agree. We had almost no deficit 25 years ago and a person could work their way through college. We also had 3 times as many unions and a much larger middle class.

We have been substituting good industrial jobs for fast food work.
