3. Coincidentally, the last liberal administration went out of power
exactly 40 years ago. Since then, wages have been depressed in terms of buying power, unions have been suppressed to the point they're only a minor factor now, and everything the previous generations fought for has been slowly chipped away in favor of making the rich richer and the corporate "person" the most powerful.

You feel like you've been in a recession for the past 40 years because you have been in a recession for the past 40 years. The only way not to feel that way was to have taken full advantage of the party fueled by easy credit, leaving you with absolutely nothing now.

It's about time the credit partygoers wake the hell up. Unfortunately for us, they'll be encouraged to blame themselves and they'll obediently do so.
