llcf..."blue collar line workers have lagged inflation"

couldn't agree more....but there exists more line workers the bill gates types.....

even so, the "line worker" has a better quality of life, even lagging inflation, then in 1973.... if you go back to the depression, the real pain was felt by the average person...today the average person is fraught with investment losses...in the depression it was more tangible as in shelter, employment and food...in essence the "line worker" had no line to work on...couldn't provide...so the fed government started public works projects....

major difference between this economy and prior severe downturns...not saying the economy may not get worse, just that it will not revisit prior bad times!
