Now, it looks like things are just going to get worse and worse for the people of this country. Aside from make less money for ordinary jobs, how will it get worse and worse for the people of this country? Freedom of expression, choice of a partner for their life, sexual freedom, the right to own property, the ability to advance based on individual merit - are those things deteriorating? Or do you just mean the low skill job pays less than it did 20 years ago?

It's funny (not) most of my life in this country people have pretty much felt that things were going to get better, slowly, generation by generation, for everyone. There were certainly hard times... but people were still optimistic. Now, it looks like things are just going to get worse and worse for the people of this country. And the scary part is that the people I talk to just accept it... they are not pissed and they are not fighting, like previous generations did. Message 22412152 I've become convinced that US prosperity, the "land of opportunity" stuff, is over. We've become "old Europe" at best... maybe much worse. It's going to be a long hard fall; I hope it's not too fast I don't think we are becoming more like Old Europe. I think we are becoming something worse than that.....unfortunately.
