1955 we were best in the world and our numbers were only 36%.......now look where they are......and look where the nation is. and has been going since they have been going down....but keep believing that we are no good.,,,,the facts are that our nation was best at most everything when our numbers were our highest.....and we are crap except at finance since ur numbers are down.....and finance lies about their numbers and we bail them out.
I'm sure if I searched and found different stories...I'd find that all the negatives about our society has gone up as union numbers have gone down.....divorce, single parents, welfare, crimes, incarcerations.....all the stuff that takes tax money to fix.....and somehow our society rewards those who benefit from our decline...makes no sense....but it never did ...did it?
